Arsenal remain the justified away-win lean after four straight league victories, with their price shortening from 1.83 to 1.75.

Prediction

Arsenal remain my pick to win at Brighton, with the 1-2 score lean still the best fit for the available evidence. The visitors have won all four league games and conceded only once, while Brighton have scored 13 times in four matches. Arsenal have shortened from 1.83 to 1.75, and no confirmed lineups are available to alter the view. Here's why the away side still get the nod.

Here's the thing: the original Arsenal lean has only gained modest support from the latest information. They arrive top of the table with four wins from four, eight goals scored and just one conceded. Their recent sequence includes wins over Coventry City, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Sunderland, with the 2-1 victory over Chelsea showing they can come through a closer game as well as control lower-scoring ones. That defensive return remains the main reason to side with Arsenal rather than chase Brighton's bigger home price.

Brighton are not an easy opponent to dismiss, though. They sit sixth with seven points, have scored 13 goals in four league matches and followed the 1-1 draw with Leeds with a 5-0 win at Coventry City. Earlier results also included a 4-0 win over Aston Villa and a 4-3 defeat at Chelsea, which underlines both their attacking threat and the potential for an open game. That is why both teams to score and Over 2.5 Goals remain sensible supporting angles around the 1-2 correct-score lean.

There are no confirmed lineups supplied, so there is no decisive team-news development that warrants changing the published prediction. On the odds, Arsenal have shortened from 1.83 to 1.75, signalling slightly stronger market support for the away win. BTTS Yes remains at 1.75, while Over 2.5 has edged from 1.83 to 1.80, neither a meaningful shift. For me, Arsenal's cleaner results still separate them, but Brighton's scoring makes this look competitive rather than routine.
