Brighton host Arsenal in Saturday’s late kick-off, and the Gunners have a big chance to pile pressure on league leaders Liverpool, who play on Sunday. Mikel Arteta’s side are on a roll, winning their last four games in all competitions and stretching their unbeaten run to 12 matches. Meanwhile, the Seagulls are winless in seven, but they’ve only suffered one home league defeat this season, so this promises to be a fascinating contest on the south coast.
Prediction 1: Arsenal to Win & Both Teams to Score (Odds 3.00)
Arsenal’s form suggests they can secure another victory, but their defence has looked vulnerable on the road, conceding in eight successive away fixtures. Brighton are typically strong at the Amex Stadium and have failed to score just once in their last 17 outings. A Gunners win with both teams finding the net could offer juicy returns for punters.

Prediction 2: Both Teams to Score (Odds 1.75)
If combining Arsenal’s victory with a Brighton goal feels too risky, a safer route could be backing both teams to score on its own. The Gunners’ last away clean sheet came in October against Championship opposition, and Brighton have notched 13 goals in nine home league matches. Odds around 1.75 imply a probability of roughly 57%, but given both sides’ attacking prowess and Arsenal’s defensive frailties away from home, the true likelihood may be even higher.

Prediction 3: Gabriel Jesus to Score Anytime (Odds 2.20)
Gabriel Jesus has rediscovered his scoring boots at just the right time. With Bukayo Saka nursing an injury, Jesus’s return to form is vital for Arteta. He managed five goals in two outings against Crystal Palace and has since added another in the win over Brentford. At odds of 2.20, the implied probability is around 45%, yet his hot streak might make his actual chances closer to 55%, representing excellent value.
Wager on Gabriel Jesus Anytime
The Seagulls may keep it close for long spells, but Arsenal’s confidence should eventually shine through. A 3-1 away win looks a tempting correct score, with both sides expected to create plenty of chances.
