Arsenal and Brighton are yet to meet in the Premier League this season, although the Seagulls won at the Emirates last term. Goals from Leandro Trossard and Enock Mwepu helped them to a 2-1 triumph which ultimately put paid to the Gunners’ prospects of securing a top four spot although Mikel Arteta’s side are firmly on course to achieve that berth this season.
Arteta famously won the FA Cup during his first season in charge of Arsenal and will want to not only steer the London outfit back into the Champions League but also have some silverware to show for the team’s efforts this season. They are likely to be at full-strength for the visit of Brighton considering that the domestic campaign is about to be put on pause.
Bukayo Saka is perhaps a doubt considering that the England winger picked up a knock against Nottingham Forest recently, although Reiss Nelson’s performance will have given Arteta confidence that there’s suitable cover in this position. Brighton will aim to flex their attacking muscle and certainly will be prepared to have a go in this game.
It points to a high-scoring game. One of the best Carabao Cup betting tips for this game could be to back BTTS Yes or Over 2.5 Goals.
