Brighton vs Arsenal Prediction: The Gunners will win easily.

Latest Brighton vs Arsenal team news

One downside to Arsenal's midweek win was Jurrien Timber's yellow card suspension, leaving the team without a true right-back as Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu are still recovering from injuries. Unless Arteta makes a surprise change, Thomas Partey will likely continue to play right-back, giving Rice or Kai Havertz (missed the previous game due to illness) a chance to return to midfield.

With Bukayo Saka (hamstring injury) and Raheem Sterling (knee injury) also sidelined, Arteta gave 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri his debut against Brentford, but changes may follow.

While Arsenal are struggling defensively, Brighton manager Hurzeler hopes Pervis Estupinan will recover in time to face Arsenal after missing the previous game due to illness. Adam Webster has a small chance of returning from a hamstring injury, while Jack Hinshelwood (knee) is also close to recovery. However, Danny Welbeck, Mats Wieffer, Evan Ferguson, James Milner and Ferdi Kadioglu will be absent.

With the January transfer window opening, the £11 million deal for Diego Gomez from Inter Miami has been confirmed, but the midfielder will not be available for this weekend's match.

Latest football match prediction: Brighton vs Arsenal

Arsenal ended 2024 with an impressive performance, earning 85 points in the Premier League, more than any other team during the year. Starting the new year, Mikel Arteta's side continued their impressive form with a 3-1 victory over Brentford, securing their first three points of 2025. Despite facing some difficulties when Bryan Mbeumo opened the scoring early, Gabriel Jesus equalized, before goals from Mikel Merino and Gabriel Martinelli sealed a convincing win.

Despite Arsenal's impressive winning streak, including three consecutive Premier League victories, they remain six points behind Liverpool at the top of the table, although Jurgen Klopp's side have a game in hand. This will be Arsenal's first match outside London since November, when they beat Sporting Lisbon 5-1 in the Champions League. Their recent away games have mostly been in the capital, with a run of nine consecutive matches there, their longest in history.

On the other side of the pitch, Fabian Hurzeler's Brighton & Hove Albion also ended 2024 with a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa. Despite some brilliant moments like Tariq Lamptey's equalizer, the team is struggling to find the net, having gone seven games without a win. Brighton currently sit mid-table, five points behind Newcastle in Europa League qualification.

Hurzeler faces the risk of becoming the first manager since 1999 to have 10 draws in his first 20 Premier League games. In recent encounters, Arsenal have won both of their away matches at the Amex, scoring at least three goals in each of those games.
