ARSENAL will be looking to keep pace with both Liverpool and Man City in the title race when they pay Brighton a visit in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
After holding Man City to a 0-0 draw at the Etihad last Sunday, the Gunners returned to winning ways with a comfortable 2-0 win against Luton on Wednesday night.
That victory sent Mikel Arteta's men back to the top of the Premier League table, though Liverpool could move back to the summit with a win over Sheffield United on Thursday night.
With a quick turnround to deal with this weekend, Arsenal will be aiming to bank another three points when they go up against Brighton at the Amex.
The ninth-placed Seagulls head into this game off the back of a drab 0-0 draw away at Brentford in midweek.
As such, Roberto De Zerbi's side have won just one of their last four Premier League games and they will be hard tasked to get back on the winning trail when Arsenal come to town.
Outright Betting
Despite avoiding defeat in 13 of their 14 Premier League home games this season, Brighton are big outsiders at 9/2 (UniBet) while the draw is an unfancied 7/2 (UniBet) with the same firm.
Arsenal are odds-on 8/13 favourites on Bet 365 as they look to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 11 matches.
Betting Angles
Here, I think Arsenal if anything are a tad short so I'm instead going to back the visitors on the Double Chance alongside Both Teams to Receive a Card and Pervis Estupinan To Commit a Foul at 4/5 (Bet 365).
As already alluded to, the Gunners are in the midst of a 10-game unbeaten run at present and they will know the importance of earning three points on the south coast on Saturday evening.
Whilst Arsenal can ill-afford any slip-ups at the Amex, Brighton do hold a strong home record this season, so much so that I would rather get the added insurance of Arsenal avoiding defeat onside.
With an action-packed and competitive contest anticipated, I'll also back referee John Brooks to brandish at least one card to both teams during this televised tussle.
Both teams have gone into the book in each of Brighton's last 10 Premier League matches and I suspect that trend will continue on Saturday night in a game where both sides will look to play on the front foot.
To conclude the 4/5 (Bet 365) combination, and team news permitting, I'll also go with Brighton's Pervis Estupinan to commit a minimum of one foul during this match-up.
The Seagulls left-back is averaging 1.2 misdemeanours per game in the Premier League this season, falling foul to the referee at least once in 11 of the 13 matches in which he has started this term to date.
Given that the Ecuadorian defender could have the unenviable task of facing Bukayo Saka on Saturday evening, I'm also prepared to propose a play on two or more fouls at 5/4 on Bet 365.
This wager would have proven profitable in seven of the 13 league games Estupinan has stated this season so far so a repeat here against opposition of the highest calibre merits consideration at 5/4 (Bet 365).
