Brighton vs Arsenal: Bukayo Saka odds to back for Premier League clash

Arsenal face a tricky trip to Brighton & Hove Albion at the American Express Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

The Gunners have a perfect record in the league and indeed in all competitions so far this season, winning all seven games, but the Seagulls are in good form and are playing at home.

Mikel Arteta will be relying on his key players to unlock the door on the south coast, and one of them is Bukayo Saka.

Arsenal's starboy has an eye-catching price to find the back of the net this weekend, and here is why we are backing Saka to score anytime at 9/4 (3.25).

Saka's goal in Arsenal's 2-0 win at Sunderland last weekend was his third in four league games so far this season.

Having struggled with injuries last term, a fully-fit Saka is a weapon the Gunners will want to use throughout the campaign, and few can match him when he is at his best.

The winger also scored the winner in this corresponding fixture in March, and boasts four career goals in total against Brighton.

With the international break coming up, Saka will want to make an impression before going to play for England.

Brighton vs Arsenal: Gunners favourites for victory

Arsenal are 8/11 (1.73) favourites to win with bookies, which gives even more reason to back Saka to score.

The Gunners are expected to have the better of the attacking play, despite Brighton being the league's top scorers with 13 goals.

Should they keep themselves solid defensively as normal, having only conceded once in the league this term, Saka should be allowed to express himself freely going forward.

The Englishman takes penalties too, so he has plenty of routes to goal.
