Arsenal and Brighton are among just four teams with a perfect record after the opening two weeks of the new Premier League campaign.
The two sides will lock horns in the first match of Gameweek No 3 on Saturday afternoon at Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal survived a tough test at Villa Park, clinching a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa with a couple of second-half strikes from Leandro Trossard and Thomas Partey.
The Gunners kept a clean sheet despite conceding an xG of almost 2.00 as Ollie Watkins missed a couple of incredible opportunities seven days ago.
Brighton also had so much luck to get away with three points from the last weekend’s clash with Manchester United.
United’s second goal got ruled out for a bizarre Joshua Zirkzee offside while the Seagulls got the match winner shortly after through Joao Pedro.
Arsenal vs Brighton Prediction
Arsenal chase the title and they have zero room for slip-ups on the home patch in a race with Manchester City even this early in the season.
Nevertheless, it is very hard to find value in their win at the 1.33 odds knowing hod good Brighton have been at the beginning of the season.
The Seagulls have managed two wins, scoring six goals in the process. They have also been tremendous in the pre-season and they’ll go into this on the back of seven wins on the spin across competitions.
The streak involves a 4-0 thumping of lower-division Crawley in mid-week’s Carabap Cup tie despite Hurzeler resting all of his key players on the occasion.
