The Gunners have played three away matches on the spin over the last 10 days and won them all, keeping two clean sheets in the process against Napoli and Sunderland. The latest win on their travels came in the Carabao Cup against Ipswich Town on Tuesday and, although they conceded twice, Mikel Arteta made 10 changes to the starting XI and still ran out 4-2 winners. With this the last domestic clash before the extended international break, Arsenal will want to sign off in style and remain top of the division before their next clash on October 10. There’s a good chance they will, given their recent record against the Seagulls. The Gunners have won each of their last three against Brighton, including the double in last year’s title-winning campaign. They are also unbeaten across their last seven meetings with the Seagulls, who have failed to score in four of those. Brighton, meanwhile, have started brightly enough, with seven points on the board from four matches. Fabian Hurzeler’s side are the division’s top goalscorers with 13, a record thanks in no small part to their 5-0 demolition of 10-man Coventry City last weekend. They added a further three during their midweek Carabao Cup clash against Manchester United, overcoming a two-goal deficit to book a fourth-round tie with Manchester City. Their record in this fixture hasn’t been great in recent times, but they can take heart from the fact that they’ve lost only once in their last eight matches at the Amex and have beaten the last two reigning Premier League champions there, Liverpool and Manchester City.

OK, it does sound a little strange backing against the Premier League’s top goalscorers to find the net, but nine of those 13 goals arrived against a beleaguered Aston Villa side in a bizarre 30-minute spell and a 10-man Coventry side fresh from promotion. This is clearly a significant step up, and Arsenal’s defensive numbers can’t really be questioned, having conceded just eight shots on target this season and posting the lowest expected goals conceded figure of any side in the division. Bet: Arsenal win to nil at 21/10 with Betfair First goalscorer and correct score prediction Brighton vs Arsenal First goalscorer: Bukayo Saka at 13/2 with Sky Bet Correct score: 0-2 at 15/2 with SBK Tip 2: Diego Gomez carded We’re also backing Brighton’s Diego Gomez to be shown a card, available at 9/4 with bet365. The Paraguayan, 23, is never too far away from the referee’s notebook, having received 10 bookings in 34 appearances last season. He’s yet to receive a caution this season, but has committed four fouls and leads his Brighton colleagues for tackles (8). He was also booked against the Gunners last time out, in a game where he committed FOUR fouls. Bet: Diego Gomez carded at 9/4 with bet365 Terms and conditions *PricedUp. 18+. New customers only.
