Chris Sutton gives surprising prediction on Arsenal vs Brighton

Arsenal will face Brighton in the Premier League on Sunday, May 14, 2023.

The Gunners continue their fight for the league title as they are currently second and one point behind league leaders Manchester City, who have a game in hand.

Meanwhile, the Seagulls are 7th with 55 points.

Ahead of the game, BBC Sport's football expert Chris Sutton has given his prediction. According to Sutton the game will end in a draw.

"What a great game this will be, and I am fascinated to see how both sides approach it," wrote Sutton.

"Brighton love teams who come at them, and that was their issue with Everton last week - the Toffees just would not come out, even when they were ahead.

"The Seagulls persisted in playing through the middle in that game, trying to create overloads, but Everton played with such a narrow five in midfield that there was no space to play through them.

"You might think that losing 5-1 at home to Everton might knock Brighton's confidence, but I don't think it will. Roberto de Zerbi's side will carry on playing the same way and they might have more joy against Arsenal.

"I don't think Mikel Arteta will back down and show more caution than normal - he can't because it is Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.

"So, I am going for an open game, lots of goals... and the points to be shared."

Sutton's prediction: 2-2
