"Back‑to‑back league victories have breathed life into Brighton's season. Fabian Hürzeler's side have now won more Premier League matches in their last two outings than they managed across the previous 13, keeping their push for European football alive. Against Forest, Diego Gómez produced a superb opener before former Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck struck the decisive goal, securing the Seagulls' second consecutive win."
"However, Brighton have not put together three straight league wins since the opening weeks of the 2025-26 campaign, and their recent revival has not lifted them back into the top half. They begin the midweek round in 11th place, though the signs of improvement are unmistakable. Hürzeler's side have been tough to beat at home, losing just twice at the Amex this season."
"Last season, they held Arsenal to a 1-1 draw at the Amex, though the Gunners won both their home clashes with the Seagulls in the EFL Cup and Premier League this season and are unbeaten in five away visits to Brighton since 2020-21."
Brighton and Arsenal face off at the Amex Stadium on Wednesday, both aiming to extend winning streaks to three matches. Brighton defeated Nottingham Forest 2-1 on Sunday, with Diego Gómez and Danny Welbeck scoring, while Arsenal matched that scoreline against Chelsea. Brighton's recent form has improved significantly under Fabian Hürzeler, winning more Premier League matches in their last two games than in the previous thirteen. However, they remain in 11th place and have not achieved three consecutive league wins since early 2025-26. Brighton's home record shows inconsistency, winning just two of their last eight fixtures at the Amex. Arsenal remain unbeaten in five away visits to Brighton since 2020-21 and have won both previous meetings this season. Brighton face injury concerns with Mats Wieffer potentially unavailable.
