Brighton v Arsenal Preview
Brighton’s Form
Brighton had to contend with a new problem this season, with their relatively small squad having to balance Europa League Football with the Premier League. While De Zerbi has been criticised in some quarters, I maintain he’s done a brilliant job and following their Round of 16 exit at the hands of Roma, they’ve 8 games left in the season to climb the league and prepare for the next.
Brighton most recently played out a 0-0 draw on Wednesday Night against Brentford which made it 5 points from their last 5 league games. In the game, Brighton had the better of the chances amassing an XG of 1.22 to Brentford’s 0.42 but failed to convert their chances and so the spoils were shared.
Brighton can climb to 7th place with a win here and could close the gap on Man United in 6th place.

Arsenal’s Form
Arsenal are in a strange situation; they head into this match unbeaten in their last 10 league games with 9 wins and only their 0-0 draw against Man City stopping them from a perfect 10 from their last 10. However, such is the form and strength of Man City and Liverpool that they remain only third favourites for the title.
Their last game came midweek where they overcame potential banana skin Luton with a 2-0 victory following goals from Odegaard and a 44th-minute Hashioka own goal. It was far from a vintage display, but their XG amassed of 1.14 to 0.29 showed that the win was deserved.
A win here would maintain the pressure on title rivals Liverpool and Man City.

Key Players To Watch
Pascal Groß – Brighton
In a Brighton side which is continually getting gutted for their top talent and seeing their latest stars linked with moves further afield. One man who doesn’t get the credit he deserves is Pascal Groß who has 5 Goals and 13 Assists in all competitions this season.
He can do it all with his 8 Progressive Passes Per 90 in the 93rd Percentile, 2.19 Progressive Carries in the 84th Percentile and 4.69 Shot Creating Actions in the 97th Percentile for all midfielders.
Bukayo Saka – Arsenal
World Class Saka (22) has been going from strength to strength in these last two seasons and is now integral to everything good about Arsenal. From 38 matches in all competitions this season he has scored 16 goals and provided 13 assists.
However, Saka is without a league goal contribution in his last 3 games and missed the Luton game through injury. He should be back at the weekend though and will want to get back among the goals.
Brighton v Arsenal Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Brighton 0-3 Arsenal
Brighton are a tough nut to crack and will head into this game full of confidence for another free-hit knowing they’ve beaten Arsenal in 3 of their last 5 games.
People are beginning to write Arsenal off despite their near impeccable form in 2024 and I think they will have a big say in the title race.
Arsenal to win comfortably, reversing some of their previous poor results against Brighton.
Best Bet: Arsenal To Win Both Halves @ 7/2
