3 threats Brighton will pose to Arsenal on Sunday

2. Excellent midfield

Alexis Mac Allister has arguably been Brighton’s best player this season, and his ten goals in 30 games this season would certainly attest to that. However, Moises Caicedo’s all-action displays put him in the picture as well.

In recent weeks, Caicedo and Pascal Gross have been alternating at right back with Tariq Lamptey out, and he has done very well, but taking him out of midfield with Martin Odegaard on the pitch could be a huge risk to Brighton.

With his running power and ability to aggressively cut out play, he’s someone who could keep Odegaard quiet. However, the biggest strength of the pair is their ability to attract the press, pop it off first time and find a third-man runner before linking with their full-backs or wingers, and they could punish Arsenal if they get it right.

It’s worth noting that without them in the team, Arsenal put four past Brighton at the Amex, showing just how critical they are to the team.
