Brighton vs Arsenal preview
After four wins on the bounce in all competitions, spirits at Arsenal at high after a sticky start to December.
Now, they can really put some pressure on leaders Liverpool if they beat Brighton on Saturday, cutting the gap to the Reds to just three points.
Granted, they’ll have played two games more than Arne Slot’s men by the time Liverpool face Man Utd on Sunday.
But it’ll still potentially put a bit of doubt in the mind’s of Liverpool, who’ve seemingly coasted to this stage after a stellar first half of the season.
Scoring goals looked to be Arsenal’s problems and Bukayo Saka’s injury was meant to highlight that further but they’ve since scored 12 goals in their last four – which included a laclustre 1-0 win over Ipswich too.
Brighton haven’t won any of their last seven games as their early season promise has hit the skids.
They have drawn five of those games – and four of their last five – so they’re not losing many either as they sit in 10th place but really need more to start kicking on up the Premier League table.
Arsenal haven’t lost at the Amex in their last four visits, too…

Brighton vs Arsenal predictions and tips
Motoring on
Four wins on the bounce can become five for Arsenal in Saturday’s game.
Brighton need something to kick them back into gear and that could come with a big result against one of the big sides.
But Arsenal look to have found a bit of a better balance to their side in recent weeks and, though unlikely to keep a clean sheet, can outscore their opponents.

Dunk Low
No Brighton player has more yellow cards this season that Lewis Dunk.
With two in his last six, maybe the difficulties Brighton have faced in winning games are being felt by the club captain.
His two bookings came in the two defeats in their seven game winless run, too. Both 3-1 defeats too that we’ve predicted. Stars aligned?
