Following what was a sensational comeback win in the League Cup during the week, the Seagulls now fly back home, where they'll face Arsenal in the English Premier League on Saturday. Can Fabian Hurzeler's men beat another of the big dogs? Or will the Gunners continue to grind out it on the road following a far from convincing win away against Sunderland last weekend? We'll soon find out.
Ahead of this game, it's worth opting for 'Diego Gomez 1+ Shots on Target'. The Gunners continue to look strong at the back, but they did surrender some promising shooting positions against Sunderland last weekend, while the hosts are not unfamiliar with hurting teams at home. Diego Gomez has made a particularly lively start to the new campaign, shooting with regularity, so much so that he should be a little less leniently priced.

Our Brighton vs Arsenal Prediction
Diego Gomez is arguably Brighton's biggest threat in the final third. The Paraguayan has buzzed around with serious intent during the early weeks of the season, getting himself into many prime shooting positions, and when he's let rip, he hasn't done so all that inaccurately, averaging a pleasing 1.03 shots on target per 90 minutes.
Gomez has also registered three shots on target in two home appearances, while this is just the sort of game where he can be a threat on the break, leaving him to look too nicely priced at odds of +105, which should be taken by those seeking player-prop value.
Our Brighton vs Arsenal Pick: Diego Gomez 1+ Shots on Target.
