Arsenal to win
Despite Monday night’s crushing 3-0 defeat away to Crystal Palace, Arsenal are still one of the form teams in the league and in pole position for a top four finish.
Arsenal have won six of their last eight matches, while Brighton’s draw against Norwich on Saturday was their first point achieved in seven matches.
Arsenal to be winning at half-time
Arsenal have gone into the half-time break ahead in 14 of their 29 Premier League matches so far this season, this includes their last three victories. Brighton have gone into the break behind in 15 of their 30 matches played.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Arsenal vs Brighton
Arsenal’s top four hopes were a dealt a hammer blow as Crystal Palace defeated the Gooners 3-0 on Monday night. However, Arsenal still has one game in hand over Tottenham Hotspur who are level on points with 54.
A match against the league’s worst side based on form represents an ideal opportunity to get straight back to winning ways. Nothing less than a win will have everyone questioning Arsenal’s credentials.
With Arsenal fielding pretty much a full-strength team except for the injured Kieran Tierney, Gooners fans will be hoping Monday night was simply an off day as Arsenal look to get back on track in the chase for Champions League qualification.

Brighton are the league’s worst side based on the last six games, having recorded just one draw and five defeats, scoring just one goal during that time while conceding 11.
A positive to cling on to is that the draw did come in their last match, however, the negative is that this draw came against the surely doomed Norwich City and that the Seagulls couldn’t breach the scoresheet against a side that has conceded 63 league goals.
It is very hard for even the most optimistic Brighton fan to see a route to victory for the Seagulls. Arsenal could also be out to prove a point after the defeat on Monday night and this could be a capitulation.
Arsenal to win 3-0 to make up for the defeat of the same scoreline to Crystal Palace is priced at 12.0.
Get Rich Quick
Arsenal to be winning at half-time is priced at 2.25 as mentioned above. However, if you want a bit more of a return then backing Arsenal at half-time and then to complete the job by full-time is priced at 2.45.
