Match Preview
Hurzeler's side sits eleventh in the table and relies heavily on Danny Welbeck. He has ten goals this season and remains their most dangerous outlet. However, missing Adam Webster in defense might force Lewis Dunk to work overtime against the Arsenal front line on Wednesday night.
The Seagulls average 13.79 shots per home game which is quite decent for a mid table club. Jan Paul van Hecke is a doubt but if he plays, his defensive stability is vital. They need to improve their goal conversion after drawing blanks recently.
Statistically, Brighton wins 5.21 corners per game at the Amex while conceding only 4.71. This control of wide areas will be essential to stop Arsenal's wingers. With Yasin Ayari doubtful, Diego Gómez must step up in the midfield to provide the necessary creative spark.
Mikel Arteta has Arsenal sitting top of the pile with 64 points after 29 games. Viktor Gyökeres is the man to watch with ten goals already. The Gunners are incredibly disciplined away from home, conceding less than one goal per ninety minutes on average.
The London side is missing Mikel Merino which is a blow for their midfield balance. Still, having players like Riccardo Calafiori at the back provides immense security. They average 5.93 corners per away match, showing they always keep the pressure on the opposition.
This unbeaten run of seven away games is no fluke for the Gunners. They are favorites but must be wary of Brighton's 71% BTTS rate at home. Punters should keep an eye on Premier League Predictions as the title race reaches a boiling point.
Ahead of the trip to Brighton, Mikel Arteta confirmed David Raya is available, though late decisions are required for Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz. While Ben White remains sidelined, Declan Rice’s fitness is improving. Arteta praised Brighton’s disciplined structure and stressed the importance of game management. He also highlighted the growing complexity of the Premier League, where tactical evolution and set-piece dominance remain vital for securing victories.

Prediction
Over 22.5 Shots @1.62
Brighton averages 13.79 shots per game when playing at the Amex Stadium. They are an offensive side that constantly looks to test the goalkeeper. Even against top opposition, the Seagulls maintain an aggressive style of play. Hurzeler encourages his players to take risks in the final third. This mindset leads to a high volume of attempts during their home matches throughout the season.
Arsenal contributes significantly to this total with an average of 13.33 shots in their away fixtures. With Viktor Gyökeres leading the line, the Gunners possess a clinical edge. They have averaged over 2 goals per match lately while chasing the title. Both teams combine for an average of 27.12 shots. This statistical profile makes exceeding the 22.5 line a very likely outcome.
