Arsenal travel to Brighton this weekend in what looks to be an exciting fixture with both teams in form.
The Gunners have been in high spirits this week after beating their closest rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the North London Derby last weekend.
Goals from academy products Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka, as well as well-taken finish from club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were enough to condemn Spurs to a 3-1 defeat at the Emirates.
The win means that Arsenal have now won four consecutive games in all competitions and Mikel Arteta ’s long-term project looks to have finally burst into life after what was an incredibly difficult start to the new Premier League season.
Meanwhile, Brighton have been the league’s surprise package so far. Graham Potter has moulded a well-balanced, entertaining team that have taken 13 points from a possible 18 in the league.
Neal Maupay’s late goal sealed a point in the Seagull’s derby day clash with Crystal Palace on Monday night, and Potter will now be hoping his team can challenge for three more against Arsenal.
With both teams in good form, it promises to be an exciting game, so here’s everything you need to know in advance.
