Team News

Arsenal
Brighton
  • Gabriel Jesus has joined Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney in the treatment room at Arsenal.
  • Leandro Trossard could replace Gabriel Martinelli in the starting XI, following his scoring cameo at Aston Villa last weekend.
  • Mikel Merino could be in line for his first Arsenal appearance, though it is likely to come from the bench.
  • New signing Matt O'Riley was forced off through injury just nine minutes into his Brighton debut in the Carabao Cup in midweek.
  • Summer arrivals Brajan Gruda and Mats Wieffer also look set to miss out here.

Prediction

  • Arsenal made it two wins and two clean sheets in their first two Premier League matches, with a 2-0 victory at Aston Villa last weekend.
  • The Gunners won both league meetings with Brighton last season, without conceding a goal.
  • Brighton's dream start to life under new boss Fabian Hurzeler continued this week, with wins over Manchester United and Crawley Town making it three from three so far for the 31-year-old.
  • The home side, however, will be expected to inflict the Seagulls' first defeat of the campaign here.

  • Thought Brighton defended well but so did Arsenal after the red card! Fair result!

  • Let's hope sucker punch

  • gooners hanging on here

  • @Isaac2000 lol

  • @Isaac2000 rice at fault didn't need to kick the ball away but yeah harsh

  • got lucky with goal..foul by saka imvho

  • @Isaac2000 lool

  • 1-1 draw. Saka to score anytime

  • 2-2

  • Goal less

  • @buthethi For Brighton, you mean?

  • @GoonerRSA am trying to be contrary with norm, knowing well early kick offs always misbehave

  • If Arsenal are serious where they want to be, then these kinds of games should be 3 points, non-negotiable. Brighton may have defeated Man Utd, but even if you can get 11 grannies, they'd expect to get something out of that deadwood of Man Utd... Arsenal 3-1 Brighton

  • @GoonerRSA guess they ain't serious

  • @GoonerRSA what a dumb comment, see you at full time lol

  • @Merky1999 so you comment at full time with your preview? How clever.

  • Brighton have won 2 of the last 3 away at Arsenal. surpisingly. I like the BTTS bet, over 2.5 goals and Brighton on handicap.
