Arsenal put six points on display after their first two outings of the new season, and they will be tough to handle in their pursuit of maintaining maximum points.

Arsenal came away with three points from the latest encounter with Brighton. It would be a surprise if they fail do to it again, when they face each other this coming Saturday.

Arsenal show off very admirable numbers from their past ten matches, as they scored 2.3 goals on average per match. That makes a total of 23 goals, whilst they allowed five goals against, for an average of 0.5 per outing. They pulled off seven clean sheets.

The Seagulls are currently not the most scoring team in the Premier League, as they only found the back of the net nine times in ten matches. This is an average of just 0.9 goals a game in which they conceded 17 times, an average of 1.7 per game. They managed two clean sheets in these.

Arsenal won the last two meetings against Brighton, as they followed up a 2-0 win by beating their upcoming opponent by a 3-0 score.

Arsenal vs Brighton Prediction

Arsenal Form

In their last three outings, Arsenal won 2-1 against Everton, beat Wolverhampton by 2-0 and hammered Aston Villa 0-2. Arsenal showed little mercy in their past six matches at Emirates Stadium, of which they won five, drew none and lost once. They hit the target 14 times, while letting in three themselves.

A second place finish is the absolute minimum Arsenal should achieve this coming season where the main target is of course the title.

Brighton Form

In their last three matches, Brighton first beat Everton 0-3, then Manchester United by 2-1 and finally Crawley by 4-0. Brighton managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Premier League. On top of winning once they also drew three as well as losing two, while scoring seven time and letting in six.

Arsenal would probably consider anything lower than at least a second place finish a disappointment. The hosts have one eye on a title challenge and know a good start is imperative.

While we don't believe Brighton are strong enough to prevent Arsenal from a home win, we believe they are capable of limiting the defeat to only a few goals.
