Arsenal vs Brighton score prediction
Arsenal have been rocked by injuries to key players in defence but have at least refound some form after relinquishing top spot in the Premier League to Manchester City.
The Gunners were strong and determined in their 2-0 win at Newcastle and show no signs of giving up just yet. This clash with Europe-chasing Brighton could be one of the most entertaining games of the season.
The Seagulls have the fourth-best away record in the Premier League this season and definitely can harm Arteta's side, but fatigue looks an issue and Arsenal may secure a slim victory in a high-scoring fixture.
