Brighton take on the visitors Arsenal in the round 20 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, January 4th at Amex Stadium (Brighton).
Brighton have consolidated their long-standing and fairly stable progress in 2023 with a tangible result in the form of a debut in European competitions. But last season brought not only performances in the Europa League, but also a decline in the Premier League - they finished in the lower part of the standings. And De Zerbi, a recent hero, did not hide his desire to leave for a project with greater opportunities. He was replaced by Hürzeler, but in the south of England they hoped not only for the talents of the "new Nagelsmann" - in addition to the German, many players appeared, and not cheap ones, the strengthening of the squad cost more than a hundred million. But Fabian started off well in Foggy Albion, and in general, until the end of autumn, the results were good. But in December, the team began to alternate draws and losses, losing ground. They ended the year with a series of draws - with West Ham, Brentford and Aston Villa.

Arsenal are trying to succeed again. The Gunners had a good last season. Having finally returned to the Champions League and won their group there, the London club remained the main pursuer of Manchester City in the Premier League. But still, the Citizens scored 2 points more. It seemed that Zinchenko and company could finally achieve a tangible result, in the form of a trophy. But for now, the Red-Whites, who did not have the best second half of autumn, and did not manage without misfires in December, are behind both Liverpool and Chelsea. On the other hand, the English have a good result in the Champions League, and the semi-finals are coming in the League Cup. But, of course, the Premier League remains a priority. And there, having beaten Ipswich and Branford and taking advantage of the misfire of the "aristocrats", they returned to 2nd place by the New Year.
Last season, the Gunners won both matches dry. But at the end of the summer, in the new competition, they limited themselves to a draw on their home field. There is no need to invent anything here. The visitors are motivated and strong, and the Seagulls are not in shape. We are expecting an away victory for Arteta's charges.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win.
