BRIGHTON v NOTTINGHAM FOREST– Click here to bet
This Sunday, Brighton welcome Nottingham Forest to Amex Stadium, looking to extend their unbeaten run this season. The Seagulls have enjoyed a promising start to the campaign with 2 wins and 2 draws, currently sitting 6th in the table. In midweek, they overcame Premier League rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers in the EFL Cup with a 3-2 win. However, last weekend’s 0-0 draw against Ipswich came as a surprise, marking their second consecutive league stalemate. This weekend, Brighton will be determined to get back to winning ways in a fixture where they excelled last season.
Nottingham Forest, much like their opponents this Sunday, arrive at Brighton in excellent form, remaining unbeaten in the league with 2 wins and 2 draws, placing them just behind Brighton in 7th place. Last weekend, Forest surprised many with a 1-0 victory at Liverpool—a feat not achieved at Anfield since 1969. Now, they travel to the Amex Stadium aiming for their third consecutive away win of the season in what promises to be a tightly contested match between two in-form teams.
Head-to-Head
Last season, Brighton claimed all three points with a 3-2 victory in the reverse fixture, later completing the double over Nottingham Forest with a 1-0 win in this corresponding match.
Betting
Brighton 8/10
Draw 28/10
Nottingham Forest 7/2
Prediction
Despite Nottingham Forest’s recent heroics at Anfield, they will be mindful of their inability to keep a clean sheet in their last three meetings against Brighton. Given how last season unfolded between these sides, there’s ample reason to back the hosts to bring the visitors back to reality from last weekend’s result, as they look to end their recent run of draws.
Suggested Bet: Full Time Result, Brighton at 8/10
MANCHESTER CITY v ARSENAL – Click here to bet
This Sunday, we’re set for another thrilling spectacle as the weekend culminates in what is undoubtedly the clash of the season so far. In a familiar battle for the top spot, first meets second as Manchester City host Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium, with both teams vying for supremacy and bragging rights. Hosts, Manchester City, enter Sunday’s epic encounter off the back of their first draw of the season, having had to settle for a 0-0 stalemate midweek against Inter Milan in the opening round of the Champions League. Domestically, the Citizens have been ruthless thus far, boasting a perfect record this season and averaging 2.75 goals per game in the EPL. Last weekend, City secured their fourth consecutive league win, overcoming Brentford 2-1 at home.
With a string of injuries to their squad, Arsenal make their way to the Etihad in search of their first win away to City since 2015. Currently placed 2nd in the standings, the Gunners enter match day 5 unbeaten in the league, having registered 3 wins and 1 draw so far this season. Last weekend, Arsenal secured their second consecutive away win by beating Tottenham 1-0. There was a sense of fortune, however, as their performance on the day was very uncharacteristic of Arteta’s boys—a result they will nonetheless take with both hands. Similar to Manchester City, Arsenal head into this weekend’s clash following midweek European action, having played out a 0-0 draw away against Atalanta in their Champions League opener.
