Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion Previews
Arsenal Team Preview
Arsenal has started the 2024-25 Premier League season in stellar form, winning both of their opening matches. Mikel Arteta’s men have displayed defensive solidity and attacking flair, continuing from where they left off last season.
Key players like Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard, and summer signing Declan Rice have been pivotal in their success. Despite Gabriel Jesus’ absence, Kai Havertz has stepped up in the attack, making Arsenal a formidable force at home.
Brighton & Hove Albion Team Preview
Brighton & Hove Albion, under new manager Fabian Hurzeler, have also enjoyed a perfect start to the season. The Seagulls have shown resilience, especially in their recent win over Manchester United, with Danny Welbeck leading the charge.
However, Brighton has struggled in London historically, and a trip to the Emirates presents a significant challenge. Their ability to counter Arsenal’s strong midfield will be crucial if they hope to maintain their unbeaten start.
