Softfootball reports that Arsenal will look to maintain their perfect Premier League start when they travel to face Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium on Saturday, September 19, 2026.

David Raya saved Enzo Le Fee’s penalty before Bruno Guimaraes and Bukayo Saka secured the points for Mikel Arteta’s side. Arsenal also defeated Ipswich Town 4-2 in the EFL Cup in midweek.
Brighton, meanwhile, are coming off an impressive 5-0 victory over Coventry City and have scored 13 league goals this season. Fabian Hurzeler’s side also produced a dramatic 3-2 comeback against Manchester United in the EFL Cup, making Saturday’s contest an intriguing clash between Brighton’s attack and Arsenal’s defence.
