Win Premier League: Brighton & Hove Albion 2 - 4 Arsenal | Saturday 31st, December | KO: 17:30 GMT | Sky Sports

Must win game.

Let's be honest, they're a far better side than West Ham. Tactically, they're one of the best team in league. They contract the space on pitch and force you to play on their terms and look to impose their game on you. But we're a much different team to the side that lost to them at the tail end of last season tbf.

Prediction

Brighton 0-1 Arsenal

In home game definitely but away from home in the short period we've seen Zinchenko play I've felt we are left vulnerable on the break. Tierney has better recovery pace

You take that trade off though because Zinchenko offers so much more in keeping and progressing the ball.

Proper bogey team for us. Tough fixture this.

Remember that this is PL history. Liverpool and Utd have always been an issue and we often got robbed. The North London points were historically shared but Chelsea pre Roman were a walkover. I like to think that Brighton will be worse without Potter at least vs us. Horrible reading nevertheless

They are better without potter. This new manager has made them better going forward while keeping their style

Yup, he’s managed to keep all the good bits about potters team except now they actually seem to be able to finish their chances. Very impressive.

They’ll get turned over though still. Win by 2 goals.

This is in the bag. Tricky and hard fought, but still comfortable, 0-3 win.

De Zerbi is an absolute shagger whilst that creepy nerd has already lost the dressing room at Chelsea.

I watched Brighton’s 3-1 win away to Southampton (where we couldn’t win this season). Brighton could have scored 6 or 7 they were that dominant. It won’t be an easy game because they’re a very good team, but we are better.

If Brighton try to play against us like they did against Southampton they'll get hammered. We are no longer the soft touch we used to be.

I expect them to try and stop us before taking control. I expect us to ruin their plan by scoring first, ideally in the first twenty minutes and then control the game.

Thanks but not what I wanted to hear . How Arteta has a plan

 

[Riou]

Just looking forward to every match now, wonderful feeling.

2007/2008 was probably the last time I felt like this, feels like we could beat every team with the way we are playing.

Even City in two months, can't wait for it... excited to see how we do against them, Saliba v Haaland will be box office!

Brighton will be difficult, but still feel we will win.

Weren’t you like 5 back in 07/08?

Brighton is a great team at home but I expect us to be up for the challenge this season.

Taylor has been good for us recently so I'm hoping that continues at the weekend

With the good comes the bad in the form of Tierney typical.
