Arsenal vs Brighton Prediction: Can the guests put up a good fight against the best club in the EPL?

Another interesting encounter awaits us in the third round of the English League Cup. Arsenal and Brighton will meet in the English capital. The Seagulls are gradually regaining their best form and approach the game with two straight wins. Can the guests put up a good fight against the best club in the EPL at the moment?

Last week, they had a tough fixture. However, the Canaries coped admirably with the task at hand. The Arsenal players played brilliantly and reliably in defense, not allowing Chelsea to create anything - a 1:0 derby victory. The London side remains in the English league table lead, with Man City two points ahead.

Roberto De Zerbi is already succeeding as Brighton's head coach. First, the Italian specialist put in a classy performance against the same Chelsea side - the return of Graham Potter turned out to be a failure. The Seagulls inflicted a crushing 4:1 defeat on the Aristocrats. Then, Brighton beat Wolverhampton 3:2.

Bookmakers offer pretty high odds on an Arsenal win, which should be no surprise. Brighton is excellent this season, as the Seagulls are sitting in sixth place in the EPL table ahead of Chelsea and Liverpool. Even with some rotation in the squad, Mikel Arteta's team is playing a good and efficient style of football. We expect the home side to take the lead and delight their fans by reaching the next round of the League Cup.
