Arsenal will be aiming to extend their advantage at the EPL summit when they host Brighton at the Emirates Stadium on Dec 27. Find the odds and our picks here.
Mikel Arteta’s side maintained their two-point advantage over Man City on Saturday after landing a nervy 1-0 away win against Everton. The Gunners have lost a league-low of just two games this term.
Brighton’s inconsistent form has made them challenging to predict this term. The Seagulls have now failed to win in their last four fixtures following a 0-0 draw against Sunderland last weekend.

| Brighton | +700 |
The pressure will be back on Arteta’s Arsenal this weekend, as they bid to maintain their spot at the top of the EPL standings.
The Gunners have recorded wins in each of their last two, which has been the perfect response since losing to Aston Villa.
Their record at the Emirates Stadium this season has been excellent, winning seven of their eight fixtures, and scoring 2.5 goals per game. Defensively, they have also excelled in home matches, keeping clean sheets in 63% of their fixtures.

It has been a strange period in the Premier League for Brighton, as they have failed to find their best form. The Seagulls have now gone four without a win, and that has seem them drop to ninth in the standings.
No side in the top has picked up fewer wins than Brighton so far this season. Last weekend, they played out a 0-0 draw against Sunderland, highlighting a struggle to create scoring chances.
Scoring goals on the road has also been an issue for the Seagulls this season, as they have averaged just 1.13 efforts per 90.
| TOTAL | Arsenal | Brighton | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Games | 20 | 9 | 6 | 5 |
| Goals | 55 | 31 | 24 |
Brighton’s struggles on the road this weekend make them very challenging to support. The Gunners have been reliable at the Emirates Stadium, and we fully expect them to cruise to a win ahead of a significant showdown with Aston Villa in the next round.
