It\u2019s the 10th time a team has won two of their opening four Premier League games by 4+ goals, and first since Manchester City in 2021-22.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-6ddzdq-FactCard e1essogq2\">Arsenal have won each of their last nine Premier League games, conceding just two goals in the process. Only twice before have they won 10 in a row in the competition \u2013 10 between March-May 1998 and 14 between February-August 2002, with both of those runs also incorporating a title win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-6ddzdq-FactCard e1essogq2\">Arsenal have faced just 2.7 xG across their four Premier League games so far this season, fewer than any other side. Almost a third of this (0.8) came from Sunderland\u2019s penalty in their last match.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-6ddzdq-FactCard e1essogq2\">Brighton have forced more high turnovers than any other side in the Premier League this season (41), while they rank second for this overall since Fabian H\u00fcrzeler took charge in 2024-25 (698).<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-6ddzdq-FactCard e1essogq2\">Bukayo Saka has been involved in five goals in six Premier League away games against Brighton (3 goals, 2 assists), scoring on each of his last three visits to the Amex Stadium. The only Arsenal players to score in 4+ straight away appearances against an opponent in the competition are Thierry Henry at Middlesbrough (4 between 2000 and 2003) and Robert Pires at Tottenham Hotspur (5 between 2001 and 2005).<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-6ddzdq-FactCard e1essogq2\">Brighton\u2019s Pascal Gro\u00df (13) and Arsenal\u2019s Martin \u00d8degaard (12) are the two players with the most chances created so far in the Premier League this season. Both have created 11 from open play, also the most in the league.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-6ddzdq-FactCard e1essogq2\">Last time out against Coventry, Pascal Gro\u00df became the first Brighton player and second German player (after Mesut \u00d6zil) to reach 50 Premier League assists. Three of these have come against Arsenal, with Gro\u00df only providing more against four sides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brighton are winless in their last six Premier League home games against Arsenal (D2 L4), having been unbeaten&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":775581,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-775580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/775580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=775580"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/775580\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/775581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=775580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=775580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=775580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
