**Arsenal's Enigmatic Relationship with Brighton & Hove Albion** Arsène Wenger once described Brighton & Hove Albion as "a sleeping giant." And it's true that the Seagulls have a rich history, having won the FA Cup in 1983 and played in the top flight of English football on several occasions. However, despite their relative size, Arsenal's relationship with Brighton is stranger than you might think. There have only been 29 previous encounters between the two sides, given Brighton's long spell in the lower divisions. In the Premier League era, the two clubs have played 13 times, with each side winning five matches. Arsenal has never lost to Brighton at the Amex Stadium, winning twice and drawing once. The Gunners will be looking to continue their unbeaten run in Brighton when they travel to the South Coast on Sunday 1 January 2023. Mikel Arteta's side will be confident of victory, but they will need to be wary of a Brighton team that has impressed this season under Roberto De Zerbi. The match is sure to be a fascinating one, given the close rivalry between the two clubs. Arsenal will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in Brighton, while the Seagulls will be eager to cause an upset and start 2023 with a bang.
