Arsenal, currently leading the English Premier League with 39 points from 12 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses, are set to face Brighton & Hove Albion. Arsenal's home record stands at 7 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss. They recently defeated Everton and drew with Manchester City, demonstrating their strong title ambitions. However, they face injury concerns with key players like Gabriel, White, and Havertz missing, potentially impacting their attacking efficiency. Brighton & Hove Albion, with 24 points from 6 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses, are positioned in 9th place. They are currently on a four-match winless streak, failing to score in their last two games, which indicates offensive struggles. Despite this, Brighton has a history of performing well against strong opponents, having beaten Manchester City and Chelsea away from home this season. Furthermore, they have a positive record at the Emirates Stadium, remaining undefeated in their last five visits with 3 wins and 2 draws. Arsenal is expected to deploy a 4-3-3 formation, focusing on high pressing and control in midfield, leveraging the presence of Ødegaard and Rice, and aiming to exploit the absence of Brighton's Baleba. Brighton is likely to use a 4-2-3-1 formation, continuing with their strategy of possession-based play and counter-attacks. Arsenal's set-piece prowess could be crucial, with the potential for goals from Saliba and Rice. If Arsenal takes an early two-goal lead through set pieces, Brighton might be forced to adopt a more attacking approach, leading to a faster-paced game with more scoring opportunities. Additionally, Welbeck's potential impact against his former club adds another dimension to the match. If Welbeck scores, and with pressure from Manchester City, Arsenal might be compelled to push forward, offering Brighton counter-attacking opportunities. The prediction is for over 2 goals in this match.
