This weekend at the Amex Stadium, the Premier League champions Arsenal will face off against Brighton & Hove Albion, aiming for an impressive eighth consecutive win across all competitions. Mikel Arteta's squad managed a gritty victory away at Sunderland last Saturday, while the Seagulls enjoyed a dominant 5-0 triumph over newly-promoted Coventry City. Arsenal had a dramatic encounter last season, where they dropped points due to a last-minute equalizer from Brian Brobbey. However, they made amends in gameweek four this season, aided by a crucial save from their goalkeeper. David Raya denied Enzo Le Fee's penalty—an incident that left Arteta furious, calling it "unacceptable"—but goals from Bruno Guimaraes and Bukayo Saka ensured Arsenal continued their perfect start to the campaign. Despite Arteta's frustrations regarding a penalty awarded against Ezri Konsa for a challenge by Daniel Ballard, the Arsenal fans celebrated their team winning the first four Premier League matches of a season for only the fourth time, following the 2022-23, 2004-05, and the legendary 2003-04 Invincibles. However, unlike the Invincibles, who drew their fifth match against Portsmouth, neither the 2004-05 nor 2022-23 teams finished the season at the top after winning their first five games. Nonetheless, there is little concern among Arsenal supporters about a potential slip-up this week, as Arteta's rotated squad convincingly defeated Ipswich Town 4-2 in the EFL Cup, highlighted by Max Dowman's remarkable achievement of scoring twice before turning 17. On the other hand, Brighton has returned to their scoring form after a slight dip against Leeds United, netting at least four goals in four of their last five matches.
