Brighton & Hove Albion Preview – Can the in-form Seagulls return to winning ways?
Brighton & Hove Albion have been the surprise package in the Premier League so far this season. Graham Potter’s men have picked up four wins, suffered one defeat and drawn one of their opening six games. As a result, the Seagulls are flying high in sixth spot with an impressive 13 points to their name.
Although they missed the chance to go top, Brighton’s draw with rivals Crystal Palace on Monday night will have felt like a win. They were not at their best, but Neal Maupay’s last-gasp goal earned Albion a share of the spoils at Selhurst Park.
The East Sussex side have been sensational so far, and Potter & Co. would love to get back to winning ways with three points over Arsenal on Saturday evening. The Brighton win is priced at 2/1.
Arsenal Preview – Gunners to make it five wins on the bounce?
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal made a dreadful start to their 2021-22 Premier League campaign. After losses to Brentford, Chelsea and Manchester City, Arsenal went into the first international break of the season at the foot of the Premier League table.
Since returning in early September, the London club have won four league and cup matches in a row. They have lifted themselves up to tenth in the league with successive victories over Norwich City, Burnley and Tottenham Hotspur.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Arsenal Betting Advice
Arsenal got revenge last season after Brighton’s league double in the 2019-20 campaign. This time, the Gunners beat the Seagulls home and away. In December 2020, an Alexandre Lacazette goal was enough to give Arsenal a 1-0 win at the Amex. Six months later at the Emirates Stadium, Nicolas Pepe netted twice to give the Gunners a routine 2-0 home victory.
