Prediction
Arsenal 2-1 Brighton: Arsenal have a surprisingly poor record against Brighton as they’ve won just two of their last seven meetings and lost this fixture 2-1 last season.
However, the Gunners have won each of their last 11 home games on the final day of the season and come into this match in good form having won their last four league games.
Brighton can be a dangerous side on their day and will give Arsenal a good test tomorrow but we think the North Londoners will be too strong in the end.
