Arsenal preview: Gunning for more

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal survived a scare in midweek as the Gunners managed to edge past Crystal Palace on penalties, having conceded a late equaliser, in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup in midweek.

The north Londoners remain at the top-of-the-table after a slender 1-0 win at the Hill Dickinson Stadium against Everton, but the gap has been closed in recent weeks by both City and Villa.

Brighton preview: Frustrated Seagulls

Brighton and Hove Albion come into this one on the back of a four-match winless run of form of late, albeit the Seagulls do remain tucked inside the top-half ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures.

Brighton most recently stumbled to a lacklustre goalless draw at the AMEX Stadium against high-flying Sunderland last weekend, a frustrating a result given that Sunderland have so many absentees due to the CAF Africa Cup of Nations.

Arsenal vs Brighton prediction

Home advantage means that Arsenal should be expected to play with a bit more urgency and intensity at the Emirates Stadium. Brighton are more deliberate than most for teams in 2025, and they will try and control the tempo as much as possible but they are often wasteful in the final third and Arsenal should be expected to ease themselves to a more straightforward victory.

Arsenal vs Brighton tip: Arsenal to win & under 3.5 goals
