BRIGHTON, ENGLAND – SEPTEMBER 19: Chema Andres of Brighton & Hove Albion celebrates with teammate Luka Vuskovic after scoring his team’s third goal during the Premier League 2026/27 match between Brighton & Hove Albion and Arsenal FC at American Express Stadium on September 19, 2026 in Brighton, England. (Photo by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images) Arsenal aim to continue their 100 per cent start to the season when they take on Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. It’s the unstoppable force vs the immovable object at the Amex, with Brighton the league’s top scorers with 13 goals, while Arsenal have conceded just once in four games. Mikel Arteta is ‘very optimistic’ about the fitness of Jurrien Timber, Cristhian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie, but there are doubts over Ben White’s availability after the defender was not called up to the England squad. The Gunners have won their opening seven games of the season across all competitions and have the chance extend their lead at the top of the table before Manchester City play Sunderland.
