After qualifying for the Conference League, Brighton are aiming for Europe again.
They are in fifth place and have shown their might by scoring the most goals in the division so far.
Fabian Hurzeler is getting a tune out of his players, evident by impressive back-to-back victories in the league and cup.
Arsenal will be the Seagulls' toughest test yet though, and they are still without key players like Jack Hinshelwood, Yankuba Minteh and Kaoru Mitoma.
The Gunners remain without William Saliba, but they are still as solid as ever defensively, conceding just once in the league.
Mikel Arteta will be slightly disappointed with conceding twice to Ipswich in midweek though, although it was a heavily rotated team with youngster Max Dowman the standout with two goals.
The 16-year-old is unlikely to start here though, as Arteta will likely go with his trusted players in Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard.
Ben White and Cristhian Mosquera remain injury doubts though, so Jurrien Timber could get his first start of the season at right-back, having been rested against Ipswich.

Whispers predicts: Brighton & Hove Albion 1-2 Arsenal
Arsenal are favourites with bookies, and given their winning form, Arsenal to win at 3/4 (1.75) appeals.
Brighton could cause problems though, and BTTS – Yes at 3/4 (1.75) offers the same value.
Bukayo Saka is one to watch having scored in Arsenal's last league game against Sunderland and also the winner in this fixture last season, so Saka to score anytime at 9/4 (3.25) is worth a punt.
Overall, we are predicting a 2-1 Arsenal win, which is available at 8/1 (9.00).
> Arsenal to win at 1.75 | Likelihood: High
> BTTS – Yes at 1.75 | Likelihood: High
> Saka to score anytime at 3.25 | Likelihood: Medium
