Team Analysis
Arsenal has started the season showing signs of a mature and focused team under Mikel Arteta. They have not conceded any goals in their opening matches and have shown resilience in securing results, even when not fully dominating games. David Raya has been outstanding in goal, providing stability at the back. The addition of Mikel Merino has strengthened the midfield, although Kieran Tierney's injury and Gabriel Jesus's uncertain participation due to injury are points of concern.

Brighton has had an impressive start to the season, with victories over Everton, Manchester United, and Crowley Town. Despite the departure of Roberto De Zerbi, the team continues to perform well, with Bart Verbruggen and Julio Enciso returning to bolster the squad. However, Solly March remains sidelined, and his absence could affect their attacking options. Brighton has historically troubled Arsenal, but recent meetings have favored the Gunners.

Head-to-Head
Arsenal has managed to overcome Brighton in their last two encounters, securing victories with clean sheets (2:0; 3:0). Historically, Brighton has caused issues for Arsenal, but the pattern seems to have shifted in favor of the Gunners in recent matches.

Prediction
The upcoming match is expected to be low-scoring, with a total of under 3.5 goals, as has been the case in 13 of the last 14 meetings between these teams in the Premier League. Arsenal is anticipated to secure a win, potentially by a similar margin as their previous encounters (2:0). Brighton's struggle to produce corners at the Emirates continues, and they are expected to have under 3.5 corners in this game. Overall, Arsenal's solid form and defensive prowess make them favorites to maintain their unbeaten streak.

Pick: Under 3.5 goals
