Brighton & Hove Albion hosts Arsenal in round 16 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, December 29th at Amex Stadium (Brighton)
The Seagulls are spending their next gray season without any hints of progress or tournament growth. Now Potter's wards occupy an intermediate 16th place in the standings. Brighton looked good after its return to the elite. Since then, the team has been gradually falling. In the last 11 rounds of the Premier League, this team managed to gain only one victory over Aston Villa (1:2). And the management doesn’t please the fans with its decisions in the transfer market. It signed modest newcomers with the hope that one of them will be able to rock. Zeqiri, Welbeck, Lallana, and Veltman joined Brighton in the last transfer window. In the relegation battle, the team has to hope for its old-timers (Ryan, Maupay, Lamptey, Trossard, and Dunk).

In the current championship, everyone expected quality progress from the Gunners under the leadership of Arteta. Unfortunately, the promising Spanish coach is failing at the head of Arsenal. The team has scored only 17 points in 15 Premier League appearances, and now it is in the lower part of the tournament standings. Promotion to the Europa League playoffs is unlikely to be an excuse for the club's failures in the local arena. Arsenal has tremendous problems with the efficiency of the attack, where Aubameyang and Lacazette have scored only three and four goals, respectively. The terrible efficiency of all players is a consequence of the flaws of the coaching staff. We may say that this is Arteta's direct fault. Leno, Mustafi, Aubameyang, Lacazette, Xhaka, Partey, Tierney, Bellerin, Pepe, and Willian could not but degrade because of certain problems in the training process.
Arsenal no longer has the right to make a mistake. Otherwise, Arteta will be fired despite all the compensation for breaching the contract. The Spanish coach is obliged to give results. The London grandee has a good staffing resource and the potential of a bright and scoring team. And the victory over Chelsea in the last round gave the fans some rays of hope (3:1). Brighton can only dream of the possibilities of the capital's team. The Seagulls look like outsiders here. We think the Gunners will have every chance of gaining three points.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win with 0.0 handicap
