Brighton almost lost their last game against crystal palace but Neal Maupay equalized in 95th minutes in injury time to secure a point for the club at Selhurst park away from home.

However, this is Brighton best ever start in a top flight campaign (W4, D1, L1), they have never occupied a spot in the top half of the table at this present stage of the season after joining the premier league in the 2017/18 campaign.

 Brighton defence this season look solid 
in defensive efforts which have proven good form as they have now keep seven home clean sheets in 2021, only Manchester City and Chelsea  have nine clean sheets above them so far.

With this record so far, would prove a heavy tough tasks against their opponent Arsenal as they welcome them to the Amex stadium.

However, their opponent Arsenal are regaining confidence as they have now won three games in a row with Mikel Arteta’s men seem to have returned after their poor start of the season.

The gunners lost their opening three games in the campaign, their worst start so ever concedes nine goals in the three games without scoring.

But that seems to have turn around as the gunners however, have turn that around winning three games in row to claim 9points so far in the campaign. That record so far made Arsenal became only the third premier league side to lose their opening three games then follow it up with three victories.

The gunners showed a wonderful display in their last outstanding after they defeated north London rival Tottenham in the Emirate stadium with a 3-1 victory.

Today's match will have to prove if the gunners are now equal to the task as they will face a stubborn Brighton away from home.
