Arsenal face Brighton with perfect start on the line
Arsenal head to the Amex Stadium today to face Brighton in a Premier League clash that could see them extend their perfect start to the season. The Gunners have won all seven of their matches across all competitions, including four league victories that have placed them at the top of the table. A win would equal the club's record for the best start to a campaign and extend their lead over second-placed Manchester City to three points. Brighton, meanwhile, are dealing with a significant injury list that includes key players such as Kaoru Mitoma, Mats Wieffer, and Jack Hinshelwood. Manager Fabian Hurzeler confirmed that most of these players are expected to return after the international break, but their absence could impact Brighton's performance today. The Seagulls have shown resilience, however, with a recent 3-2 comeback victory over Manchester United in the Carabao Cup, where they recovered from two goals down. Brighton are fourth in the league and have been the division's top scorers with 13 goals from four matches. Away from the pitch, both Arsenal and Brighton are reportedly interested in signing Sturm Graz midfielder Luca Weinhandl.
