Arsenal take on the visitors Brighton in the round 36 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, May 14th at Emirates Stadium (London).
Arsenal are likely to finish no lower than their current 2nd place in the Premier League. A year ago, they couldn't even qualify for the Champions League, but now it's clear that no one will take away the top-four spot from Zinchenko and his teammates. On the other hand, the season is remembered for its recent results. The same thing happened in 2022 when their chance to break into the top four at the finish was ruined by surrendering the coveted position to their rivals from Tottenham. And now, Mikel Arteta and his team have once again stumbled upon the same obstacles – a disastrous period in April. Twice squandering a lead of a couple of goals against Arsenal and West Ham, and barely avoiding defeat against the underdog Southampton, the red and white team squandered their advantage against City and then lost to their Manchester rival 1-4. Yes, they managed to revive afterwards, but what's the use? Although, of course, a confident 3-1 victory over Chelsea at least ended their winless streak. They also comfortably defeated another, more serious opponent, the current 3rd-placed Newcastle, with a 2-0 scoreline.

Brighton have become accustomed to the fact that emerging stars leave for more prestigious teams. The same thing happened last summer when several key players, including Locatelli, were lucratively sold. As the results of the initial rounds showed, it wasn't a problem. But Chelsea returned in the autumn, this time with a manager. However, it turned out that Brighton's management had already anticipated that, so when Potter left, they had a ready-made answer in the form of an invitation to De Zerbi. There were many doubts about Roberto: the young Italian had only briefly worked outside of Italy, with Shakhtar Donetsk, and the results were mixed. However, he answered all the questions with impressive performances. With him, Brighton reached the semifinals of the FA Cup, only to be denied a victory over Manchester United by March's missed penalty in the shootout. Equally important is that the team climbed into the European spots in the Premier League... and unexpectedly suffered a crushing 1-5 defeat, clearly underestimating Everton, a team fighting for survival.
Last season, the Seagulls managed to earn 4 points against the Gunners in the Premier League, and in the autumn, they knocked them out of the League Cup. However, later Arteta's team finally took revenge, winning 4-2 away on the eve of the New Year. The Seagulls are unlikely to lose their second consecutive match. But the Gunners are in good form right now. So let's bet on a victory for Arteta's team.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win.
