Arsenal’s perfect start to the season could come under serious threat this weekend as they head to fifth-placed Brighton . The Premier League champions have swept all aside, winning seven out of seven across four different competitions, but a trip to the Amex promises to be a major test for Mikel Arteta’s men.
The likes of Manchester City , Liverpool , Chelsea and Manchester United have all lost at the Amex in recent seasons, as have Ajax , Roma and Marseille , while Brighton have only been beaten four times in their last 26 home matches.
The Seagulls should also be brimming with confidence after making a very good start to the season themselves, which included a brilliant 3-2 comeback win at Manchester United in midweek. That earned Brighton a fifth win in their last six visits to Old Trafford and secured them a place in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.
We can see Fabian Hurzeler's men making life very difficult for Arsenal as well, but the red-hot Gunners have found the Amex a happy hunting ground in recent times and our opening Brighton vs Arsenal prediction is an away win with BTTS @ 11/4 in a BOYLE Sports Price Boost .

Form Guides
Brighton form guide
The Seagulls are making good progress on all fronts, picking up four wins from seven games, with their only defeat being a battling 4-3 reverse at Chelsea . Among those victories are 4-0 home demolitions of Tromso in the Conference League and Aston Villa in the Premier League , but the pick of the wins undoubtedly came in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
Manchester United , looking to bounce back from Sunday’s derby defeat to City , raced into a 2-0 lead after 10 minutes but Brighton recovered to claim a fully deserved victory thanks to goals from Charalampos Kostoulas , Pascal Gross and substitute Maxim de Cuyper.
Hurzeler’s side have now scored 20 goals in their last six games, including 13 in the league. That has left them top of the scoring charts in the Premier League and, with Arsenal in third place with eight, there should be plenty of goalmouth action this weekend so a Gunners win with over 2.5 goals in total @ 6/4 is worth considering .
Arsenal form guide
Arteta rang the changes for Tuesday’s Carabao Cup trip to Ipswich but the outcome was the same as Arsenal continued their 100 per cent start with a 4-2 victory. Teenager Max Dowman struck twice in his first appearance of the campaign, while Noni Madueke and Mikel Merino were also on the mark before Ipswich responded with two consolation goals.
That denied Arsenal a sixth clean sheet of the season but, with nine changes made from the weekend win at Sunderland , that was not unexpected. The Gunners now head to Brighton for their fourth successive away game and will hope to maintain their spot at the top of the Premier League heading into the international break.
The champions are unbeaten in six visits to the Amex , winning four including 1-0 last season, so they should feel optimistic about the trip down the M23. Bukayo Saka scored an early winner in that March clash and he has netted four times in the last nine meetings between the two clubs.
Three of those goals have opened the scoring so the England international could be a good selection for first goalscorer @ 6/1. Martin Odegaard , with four goals already this season and three against Brighton since 2022, is 3/1 to net at any time.
