Brighton & Hove Albion vs Arsenal Competition – English Premier League Stadium: Villa Park Date: 4th March 2026 Kick-off time – 19:30 GMT
Brighton & Hove Albion host Arsenal on Wednesday evening for a 19:30 GMT kick-off in the Premier League. The Seagulls head into the match having picked up back-to-back wins but with an underlying inconsistency that makes them difficult to read. Their most recent result was a 2-1 home win over Nottingham Forest on 1st March. Prior to that, they won 2-0 away at Brentford on 21st February. Earlier in the sequence, however, they lost 3-0 away at Liverpool in the FA Cup on 14th February, lost 0-1 away at Aston Villa on 11th February, and lost 1-0 at home to Crystal Palace on 8th February. Three losses in a row prior to the recent upturn paints a picture of a side that has been inconsistent, and their season stats reflect a team that has struggled to impose themselves — 36 goals scored, a goal difference of just +2, and 34 conceded. The two wins heading into this match will provide some confidence, but Arsenal represent a significant step up in quality.
Arsenal arrive on the south coast in excellent shape, unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent result was a 2-1 home win over Chelsea on 1st March, and before that they won 4-1 away at Tottenham Hotspur on 22nd February — a result that underlined the Gunners’ attacking firepower. Earlier in the sequence, they drew 2-2 away at Wolverhampton Wanderers on 18th February, won 4-0 at home to Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup on 15th February, and drew 1-1 away at Brentford on 12th February. Three wins and two draws from five is a strong return, and their season numbers make for impressive reading — 56 goals scored, a goal difference of +35, and just 21 conceded across all competitions. With 38 assists recorded, Arsenal have been one of the most fluid attacking sides in the division and will arrive at the Amex with real intent.
The head-to-head record strongly favours Arsenal, who have won three of the last five meetings with two draws and no Brighton victories. Most recently, Arsenal won 2-1 at home on 27th December 2025 and also won 2-0 at home in the Carabao Cup on 29th October 2025. Brighton’s best recent result in this fixture was a 1-1 home draw on 4th January 2025, though Arsenal also won 3-0 away at the Amex on 6th April 2024. The Seagulls will need to produce something well above their recent average to end that run on Wednesday night.
