Before you make any Arsenal vs. Brighton picks or Premier League predictions, you MUST see what renowned soccer bettor Jon "Buckets" Eimer has to say.

Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, Eimer has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. He is 56-25-1 on his Premier League picks for SportsLine in 2022, for a profit of more than $2,500 for $100 bettors. He is 19-4 on his past 23 EPL picks.

Eimer knows the Gunners appeared to have little trouble against West Ham despite being without star Gabriel Jesus, who is expected to miss a few months. Replacement Eddie Nketiah had one of the goals, and Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli also scored in the second half. Martinelli and Martin Odegaard are the top scorers with six goals each for a team that has 36 goals, second-most in the Premier League. They have conceded just 12 while yielding 39 shots on target, both second-fewest in the EPL.  

The expert also has considered that the Seagulls are 5-3-2 in the past 10 meetings with the Gunners, including a 3-1 victory in an EFL Cup match last month. Leandro Trossard (seven goals) and Pascal Grob (five) will be the top scoring threats, as Argentina star Alex Mac Allister (five) isn't expected to return until the new year following his World Cup triumph. Brighton have conceded just six goals in their seven home matches and have lost to Arsenal once at home in league play since 1981 (3-2-1).
