xBrighton started Match Day 6 of the Premier League placed fourth, and had a chance to go top of the standings, but will end the week in sixth, ahead of their home game against Arsenal. The hosts go to this game having garnered 13 points while 10th placed Arsenal have nine points. Brighton dropped points in their last game, which ended 1-1 away to Crystal Palace. They needed a stoppage time Neal Maupay goal to salvage a point and will hope they can do their business early against Arsenal. That was Maupay’s fourth league goal of the season and half of them have come in the three home matches. He will be happy for this coming game, having scored two in four matches against Arsenal. Brighton head to this game unbeaten in four matches, with three wins in there, and they’ve only failed to score in one of their eight matches this season. They have two wins and a loss in their three league matches at home this season and go into this game hoping to stop a bad run against Arsenal that has seen them lose both the last two meetings.

Arsenal on the other hand, go to this game having recovered from their early season slump, and they have four straight wins. They should be very confident heading to this game straight after a 3-1 win in the North London derby. This match will excite Arsenal skipper Pierre Emerick Aubameyang as well as Nicolas Pepe and Alex Lacazette. Aubameyang and Pepe have three goals each against Brighton, while Lacazette has two; it is however likely that only Aubameyang will start in this game. The Gunners have three clean sheets in their last four matches, a signal of the improving times occasioned by players returning from injury and a well beefed back line. They will however miss Granit Xhaka who is ruled out for eight weeks, but with Sambi Lokonga and Ainsley Maitland Niles available, Mikel Arteta has options. Arsenal have won eight of their last 11 league matches, among them a 2-0 victory over Brighton. They have lost only two of their last 10 away league games.
