Brighton & Hove Albion vs Arsenal Prediction

The hosts have failed to score in two of their last four home games in the Premier League and might struggle here. The visitors have kept four clean sheets in their last five away games in the competition and will be looking to continue their solid defensive record in this game.

Arsenal have won their last four games in the league, scoring 11 goals while conceding just once in that period. Taking into consideration their tremendous form, we back them to secure a win, though the hosts will be able to put up a fight.
