Tactical read
Tactical read
AI-generatedArsenal hold a clear edge in class and control — their attacking threat is sharper, their grip on the midfield established. Brighton will defend with discipline and hunt on the break, but the home side's quality should tell over ninety minutes.
Key matchup
Arsenal's attacking fluency against Brighton's organised, compact defensive shape.
Biggest factor
Arsenal's sustained dominance in possession and chance creation — if they convert their superiority, the game turns.
