Second:Seagulls with only 2 home losses this season could halt the Gunners! Brighton's form this season hasn't matched last season's, but their home record remains strong with only 2 losses. In this match, Brighton hosts league leaders Arsenal, enjoying home advantage. Brighton has historically been a tough opponent for Arsenal, often playing the role of a stumbling block in the Gunners' title chase in recent seasons.
