Overview
Brighton have had a very active summer in the transfer market. They have brought in a series of quality new players to upgrade the squad.
The Seagulls have won their opening two Premier League games, beating Everton and Manchester United respectively. They also had a 4-0 win over Crawley Town in the Carabao Cup, despite only using a reserve team.
Therefore, Brighton is completely confident in the away match against Arsenal in round 3 of the Premier League. Although they lost the last time they visited Emirates, it should be remembered that Brighton also had a 3-0 victory at this stadium in April 2023.
On the other side of the front line, Arsenal also had a good start in the Premier League with 6 points after 2 matches, including a 2-0 victory over the tough opponent Aston Villa. Although there are still mistakes in defense, the excellence of goalkeeper David Raya is still helping Arsenal keep a clean sheet in the new season.
According to experts, Brighton's ability to press and quickly change state will be a threat to Arsenal. Therefore, the "Gunners" will need to play focused and gain an advantage as soon as possible. Because, when the game is behind, the "Seagulls" often show deadlock in attacking ideas.
In short, one of the two teams will have to break their winning streak in round 3 of the Premier League. With home field advantage and better quality personnel, Arsenal is predicted to be the team to win all 3 points.
