📋 Team News: Brighton

It’s our opinion that The Seagulls will probably employ a 4-2-3-1 system for the game, handing starts to Bart Verbruggen, Mats Wieffer, Jan Paul van Hecke, Lewis Dunk, Ferdi Kadioglu, Carlos Baleba, Pascal Gross, Diego Gomez, Jack Hinshelwood, Kaoru Mitoma and C. Kostoulas.

🗞️ Team News: Arsenal

We believe The Gunners seem likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 system with a starting lineup of David Raya, Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Gabriel, Piero Hincapie, Martin Zubimendi, Christian Noergaard, Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze, Gabriel Martinelli and Viktor Gyoekeres.

💭 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Brighton & Hove Albion should have enough to breach the defence of this Arsenal side, although just one goal may not quite be enough to prevent defeat.

We can see a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 victory for Arsenal at the end of the 90 minutes. Should be a good one.
