The Emirates Stadium is set to host a crucial clash for the top spot in the Premier League table as Arsenal takes on Brighton & Hove Albion this Saturday. Both teams have maintained their 100% records and will be looking to continue their winning streak.
Last weekend, Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa, breaking their hoodoo at the West Midlands. On the other hand, Brighton dramatically defeated Manchester United 2-1 in a thrilling encounter.
The pivotal moment of the match between Arsenal and Villa came when David Raya made an incredible save from Ollie Watkins’ close-range header. This save is being hailed as one of the best in Premier League history.
Arsenal has been in fine form, winning all their last eight Premier League games. A win against Brighton would see them achieve nine straight wins, a feat not accomplished since the Invincibles in the 2003-04 season.
Brighton, under the leadership of Fabian Hurzeler, has also been impressive with a perfect record so far. Hurzeler, who is just 18 years old, has been making waves on the South Coast and will look to break the curse of not winning in London from the previous season.
In their most recent meeting at the Emirates, Brighton embarrassed Arsenal with a 3-0 victory. However, Arsenal avenged that defeat with two wins last season, including a convincing three-goal triumph at the Amex stadium.
The stage is set for an exciting clash between two in-form teams vying for the top spot in the Premier League. Expectations are high as both Arsenal and Brighton look to maintain their perfect start to the season.
