Both Ian Wright and Roy Keane have shared their score prediction for when Arsenal travel to face Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
Mikel Arteta’s side won at a canter last night against Luton Town, whilst Brighton were diligently securing a clean sheet away at Brentford.
It seemed as if a meeting with Rob Edwards’ Luton side could have been a nervy occasion, even without the five changes Arsenal made.
And when the team sheet arrived with no Declan Rice in the eleven, and no Bukayo Saka in the squad at all, those fears were worsened.
However, Arteta’s decisions were justified, and Arsenal controlled the game from start to finish.
Of course, they won’t have it so comfortable at the Amex Stadium on Saturday evening, a very tough place to take three points.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side caused Liverpool a lot of problems at Anfield last Sunday, and Arsenal will face a big test.
That being said, both Ian Wright and Roy Keane have just shared their score predictions on the ‘Stick to Football’ podcast.
Both Ian Wright and Roy Keane think Arsenal will get past Brighton on Saturday
Speaking on the podcast, the duo almost agreed on the same score line, with both predicting that Arsenal will win.
Roy Keane started the predictions, saying: “2 or 3-1 Arsenal.”
Ian Wright then concurred: “We’ll go 3-1 Arsenal.”
Of course, Mikel Arteta would bite your hand off for that scoreline right now.
Arsenal did win their last away trip at Brighton 4-2 last year, but have a very mixed record against the club.
Of course, Brighton were 3-0 winners at the Emirates last season, with Julio Enciso, Denis Undav and Pervis Estupinan all scoring.
And in the same campagin De Zerbi’s side also dumped Arsenal out of the EFL Cup in north London.
It’s clearly going to be a big test for Arsenal, but in line with Wright and Keane’s score predictions, there’s good reason to be optimistic despite Brighton’s quality.
Arteta knows his side can beat any team in the league, and should have something akin to his strongest XI available for the trip, only missing Jurrien Timber.
Of course, that will mean a slight sweat on Saka’s readiness, even if his issue isn’t thought to be anything serious.
All that considered, Theo Walcott has just provided his prediction on who will win the Premier League this season.
