Arsenal vs Brighton Score Prediction

Brighton are not the same team without Bissouma. His absence at Selhurst Park was keenly felt, especially since Mwepu was also not in the team and he gives them another edge in midfield.

It does look like the Malian will be back though, because that’s how it always is. But, as important as he is to Potter, Arsenal have a certain Partey in their ranks. For the first time in a while, Arsenal supporters might be somewhat confident about this one.

The high of the North London Derby remains and despite this arguably being a tougher fixture on paper, the way with which Arsenal clicked in that opening 45 minutes bodes well.

xG also catches up: no side have outperformed their expected points as much as the Seagulls have.

They are beatable but they are also effective. Having struggled to convert the gluttony of chances created last season Brighton are now finding the back of the net in more clinical fashion, despite not adding to their striker ranks in the summer.

Yes, Neap Maupay is fit.

But this is an Arsenal side beaming. Victory here can make it five on the spin and set up the international break in superb fashion following he horrendous spell prior to the first set of World Cup qualifiers. Add to that how Brighton are yet to keep a clean sheet in the eight Premier League meetings and, well, Arsenal might grab a goal or two.

Score Prediction: Brighton 0-2 Arsenal
