Former Liverpool heroes Mark Lawrenson and Michael Owen have made prediction for Brighton and Arsenal clash while disagreeing with each other.
Lawrenson believes Brighton will lose with a score of 2-0, while Owen thinks they will get the better of Arsenal.
"Brighton missed the chance to go top of the table on Monday but the way they snatched a point right at the end of their game against Crystal Palace will still give them a big lift," Lawrenson told BBC Sport.
"The Seagulls have made a really impressive start to the season, but Arsenal are on a bit of a roll at the moment.
"That run won't last for too long - not a lot has changed about the Gunners, really, because I still think they will go on streaks of good or bad results just like last season - but they will be smiling on Saturday evening anyway."
Owen is backing Graham Potter's side to earn a 2-1 win at the Amex tonight.
He says Albion have been a "bogey" team for the Gunners and that may happen again.
"Brighton didn’t go top of the league, but it was a good point nonetheless away at Palace on Monday night," Owen said.
"Maupay’s last-minute equaliser was a lovely finish. I’m so impressed with the job Graham Potter is doing down there and think they can stay in the top eight.
"How quickly can things change in football? This time last month Arsenal were in a crisis and here we are a week after they dismantled Spurs in the North London Derby.
"Don’t get me wrong, I think Spurs were shocking in that first half, but Arsenal’s play was excellent. In particular, the youngsters in Smith Rowe and Saka were full of energy and quality.
"Brighton have history of being a bit of a bogey team for Arsenal. The Gunners’ have won just two of their last seven against them and the Seagulls are flying right now. I think Brighton can narrowly win this."
