Arsenal are gearing up for their final three games of the Premier League season, knowing they will likely have to win them all to have the slightest of chances to lift the title at the end of this month. First of their triple header to come is Brighton, who have impressed under Roberto De Zerbi.
The Seagulls are chasing European qualification as well as a response from their 5-1 drubbing at the hands of Everton last week. The Gunners will look to deny that, with title rivals Manchester City playing just before them, meaning they'll know the result just before their own clash.
With the match being such a difficult one to call, it could be one that swings either way when the full time whistle blows. Football pundits have still had their attempt at trying to predict what the final score will be though, so with that said, here's a look at how they've foreseen the match.

Chris Sutton - BBC Sport
Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton believes that the clash is likely to be a very open affair, with plenty of action for spectators to enjoy. Giving his prediction to BBC Sport, Sutton said: "You might think that losing 5-1 at home to Everton might knock Brighton's confidence, but I don't think it will. Roberto de Zerbi's side will carry on playing the same way and they might have more joy against Arsenal.
"I don't think Mikel Arteta will back down and show more caution than normal - he can't because it is Arsenal at Emirates Stadium. So, I am going for an open game, lots of goals... and the points to be shared."
Score prediction: Arsenal 2-2 Brighton
Paul Merson - Sportskeeda
Former Arsenal star Paul Merson disagrees with Sutton, believing that Arsenal can win all of their remaining games this season, starting with Brighton.
He told Sportskeeda: "Arsenal turned in an outstanding performance against the Magpies. I think they’re going to win all their games from here on in but they are unlikely to still win the league."
Score prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Brighton
