Arsenal sign off a four-game road trip with arguably the trickiest assignment of the lot, a Saturday afternoon Premier League shoot-out at Amex Stadium against red-hot Brighton.

The Gunners head south buzzing after making it seven wins out of seven when Mikel Arteta's heavily reshuffled side won 4-2 at Ipswich in the Carabao Cup.

But they are up against a Brighton team who have won 5-0 at Coventry and 3-2 at Manchester United in the last week and will be feeling buoyant themselves.

Team news

Brighton remain without star wingers Kaoru Mitoma and Yankuba Minteh. Femi Azeez (hamstring) is unlikely to be involved while Jack Hinshelwood, Mats Wieffer and Evan Ferguson are missing.

Jurrien Timber could be in line for a first start of the season with Ben White struggling. William Saliba is still sidelined while Piero Hincapie and Cristhian Mosquera are doubts.

Prediction

Arsenal's winning streak is mighty impressive and you have to go back to the middle of April for the last time they lost to a Premier League opponent.

Six wins in a row enabled Mikel Arteta to rest a lot of first-teamers at Ipswich in the EFL Cup on Tuesday night and the Spaniard's second string kept the purple patch going with a 4-2 win.

Twenty-four hours later it was Brighton's turn in the same competition with Fabian Hurzeler sending out a very strong side at Old Trafford who came from two down to beat Manchester United 3-2.

The scheduling, therefore, certainly helps the Gunners though Arteta will know a test is incoming from an impressive Albion who have lost only once themselves in seven outings.

Creating chances against Arsenal is difficult - they have conceded just nine shots on target over the course of their first four games.

But Brighton will give it a go, such is Hurzeler's approach. And since Albion top the table for shots on target - they have racked up 24 in four games, the same as Bournemouth and Chelsea, at six per game - it does not appear in the least fanciful they can notch up at least four even against the champs.

Score prediction: Brighton 1-1 Arsenal

Back Over 3.5 Brighton Shots on Target at 11/10.

Arsenal's Brazilian stopper Gabriel does walk a fine line and will add to his two yellows at some point.

Bet Builder - 5/1

Olivier Boscagli Over 1.5 Fouls Conceded - Albion's Boscagli is averaging 2 fouls a game and can extend that sequence.
