Arsenal vs Brighton prediction

Arsenal come into this game in red-hot form, having won their last seven games in all competitions. Mikel Arteta won’t want his side to lose momentum despite the club clearly prioritising the Premier League and Champions League. But the Gunners have such a strong squad that even a weakened starting line-up should see them dominate against Brighton, who will be hoping this tournament proves to be the one that sees them win their first major trophy.

This match being at Emirates Stadium shouldn’t be underestimated, that makes it a lot harder for Brighton. But assuming they go strong, the Seagulls are good enough to fashion opportunities to hurt Arsenal. A close contest should be on the cards and when considering the incredible form and momentum of Arsenal, backing them has to be favoured.
