They\u2019ve scored 38 goals (1.35 per game) and conceded 35 (1.25 per game), leaving them with a modest positive goal difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their results have been mixed, with several draws interspersed with narrow wins and losses, contributing to an up-and-down league form. Attacking contributions are shared across the squad, though Danny Welbeck is their top scorer with 10 goals. Their discipline record and balanced goals for\/against suggest a side capable of pulling clear of relegation trouble but not yet challenging for European qualification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arsenal have been one of the standout teams in the 2025\/26 Premier League, leading the table for much of the season. They sit top with 64 points from 29 matches, having won 19, drawn 7 and lost just 3, and boast a strong goal difference of +36. They\u2019ve scored 58 league goals and conceded 22, underlining both attacking potency and defensive solidity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Viktor Gy\u00f6keres leads their scoring charts with 10 league goals, while Mart\u00edn Zubimendi and Bukayo Saka have chipped in with multiple goals each. Arsenal\u2019s defence has also excelled, contributing numerous clean sheets and helping maintain their league lead margin at various stages. Arsenal\u2019s consistency and statistical balance across both ends of the pitch have made them genuine title contenders this season, outpacing rivals like Manchester City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SquawkaBet\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"114\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1024x114.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1415389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1024x114.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-300x33.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-768x86.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1536x171.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-400x45.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-600x67.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-538x60.jpg 538w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-150x17.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-40x4.jpg 40w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1.jpg 1792w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-brighton-team-news\">Brighton team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Brighton boss Fabian H\u00fcrzeler faces several selection headaches with key absentees. Veteran striker Danny Welbeck has been unavailable recently but returned at the weekend, scoring against Nottingham Forest at the weekend. At the back, Adam Webster, Solly March and long-term knee injury victims like Stefanos Tzimas remain out while James Milner has started matches but workload and fitness are managed carefully. Younger midfielders and attackers such as Diego G\u00f3mez, Yasin Ayari and Yankuba Minteh are likely to be involved given the absences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-arsenal-team-news\">Arsenal team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Arsenal face fitness concerns heading to the Amex Stadium. Midfielder Declan Rice is a major doubt after being replaced in the 2-1 win over Chelsea, as he is being assessed for a muscle issue and his participation remains touch-and-go. Martin \u00d8degaard is also doubtful with a knee problem, having missed the Chelsea game as a precaution. Defender Ben White is another fitness concern and listed as uncertain, having missed recent matches with a knock. Long-term absentee Mikel Merino remains out, still recovering from a foot operation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Season Form &amp; Standings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Arsenal have set the pace at the top, combining the league\u2019s highest goals tally (58 from 29 games) with the strongest defence (22 conceded, 13 clean sheets). Brighton have been solid yet inconsistent, sitting mid-table. Their attack has been productive (38 goals), but defensive frailties (35 conceded, 6 clean sheets) have kept them from pushing higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Team<\/th>\n<th>Pos<\/th>\n<th>P<\/th>\n<th>W<\/th>\n<th>D<\/th>\n<th>L<\/th>\n<th>GF<\/th>\n<th>GA<\/th>\n<th>GD<\/th>\n<th>Pts<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Arsenal<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>29<\/td>\n<td>19<\/td>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>58<\/td>\n<td>22<\/td>\n<td>+36<\/td>\n<td>64<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Brighton<\/td>\n<td>11<\/td>\n<td>28<\/td>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td>38<\/td>\n<td>35<\/td>\n<td>+3<\/td>\n<td>37<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-head-to-head-last-5-meetings\">Head-to-Head: Last 5 Meetings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The last six meetings between these sides have been closely fought, with Arsenal edging the recent record but Brighton never far away from an upset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"\" data-align=\"center\">Date<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Score<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Competition<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">27\/12\/25<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Arsenal 2-1 Brighton<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Premier League<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">04\/01\/25<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Brighton 1-1 Arsenal<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Premier League<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">06\/04\/24<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Brighton 0-3 Arsenal<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Premier League<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">14\/05\/23<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Arsenal 0-3 Brighton<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Premier League<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">31\/12\/22<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Brighton 2-4 Arsenal<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Premier League<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Will Arsenal\u2019s firepower and defensive edge prove too much for a Brighton team that always threatens but rarely shuts opponents out?
