Brighton secured their second league win of the season last weekend by smashing newly promoted Coventry City 5-0 in their own backyard, and followed that up in midweek with a 3-2 win at Old Trafford in the League Cup.
The Gunners maintained their 100% record across all competitions when they followed up their 2-0 win at Sunderland in the Premier League with a 4-2 away win in the cup against Ipswich on Tuesday night.
Arsenal have an excellent record against Brighton and are looking to make it eight games unbeaten against the Seagulls on Saturday. The Gunners have won five of their last seven encounters with the Seagulls, including each of the duo's last three meetings in league and cup.
You can see why we've backed Arsenal to secure all three points this weekend, but that doesn't mean there won't be plenty of goalmouth action at both ends of the pitch.
Arsenal might have kept five clean sheets in their opening seven fixtures this season, but Brighton's attack has been in phenomenal form, scoring 20 goals in just seven matches.
Both teams have scored in three of the last five meetings between these two clubs, and we're predicting more of the same in Saturday's latest clash. Brighton have only failed to score in one match so far this season, but Arsenal's defence has only conceded three goals in all competitions.
However, Arsenal's attack has scored at least two goals in five of their opening seven matches, and that is why we're backing a 2-1 win for the visitors this weekend.
Brighton 1-2 Arsenal
