Two sides with flawless starts to the season meet at the Emirates this weekend when Arsenal and Brighton clash.

Arsenal vs Brighton Prediction

Arsenal made it two wins and two clean sheets in their first two Premier League matches, with a 2-0 victory at Aston Villa last weekend.

The Gunners won both league meetings with Brighton last season, without conceding a goal.

Brighton's dream start to life under new boss Fabian Hurzeler continued this week, with wins over Manchester United and Crawley Town making it three from three so far for the 31-year-old.

The home side, however, will be expected to inflict the Seagulls' first defeat of the campaign here.

Score Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Brighton

Both Teams To Score – No, Over 1.5 Tackles For Ben White & Leandro Trossard To Score is 11/1 with bet365 at the time of publishing.

Arsenal had the best defensive record in the Premier League last season, conceding 0.13 fewer goals per game than Manchester City so we are backing no to both teams to score here, a bet that landed in both head-to-heads between these sides in the last campaign.

Ben White is set to start at right-back for Arsenal and the Seagulls’ focus on advancing in wide areas has meant that right-backs against them this season have combined for 6 tackles, with over 1.5 tackles winning in both games. Leandro Trossard came off the bench to score against Aston Villa last weekend. The winger has now scored six goals in his last eight Premier League appearances.
