Arsenal welcome Brighton and Hove Albion to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon for their latest Premier League clash.

The Gunners are currently seventh in the table with 10 points from their first six matches but they have the chance to move above fourth-placed Chelsea if they record a big victory against the Seagulls.

Arsenal appear to have turned a corner after a shaky start but they will not be taking anything for granted against their recently promoted opponents.

Brighton are doing well after finally making it into the Premier League, picking up seven points to date and playing some impressive football.

Their summer signings have impressed and they will be hoping to pull off a shock by defeating Arsenal in their own back yard.

That will be easier said than done but the longer they hold out against an impressive Arsenal attack, the more their confidence will grow with a potential upset on the cards.
