Arsenal vs Brighton: Gunners will outclass Seagulls at Emirates - Michael Owen

That is the view of former Liverpool striker-turned-pundit Michael Owen

Arsenal are unbeaten at home so far this season and have experienced an upturn in form since their 4-0 drubbing at Liverpool. 

The Gunners have claimed scalps over Bournemouth and West Brom as well as earned a valiant draw against Chelsea in the Premier League earlier this month. 

Arsene Wenger’s side have also got their Europa League campaign off to a flyer with comfortable wins over Cologne and BATE Borisov. 

Brighton meanwhile, sit in a commendable 13th in the table and come into their clash with Arsenal off the back of a 1-0 win over Newcastle. 

But Owen reckons Wenger’s men will continue to build on their momentum and earn a straightforward win over the newly-promoted Seagulls. 

“Brighton were fortunate to beat Newcastle at the weekend and I expect Chris Hughton’s side to be outclassed at The Emirates,” Owen told the Metro. 

“The Gunners have a terrific record in home fixtures against lesser sides in the top-flight, beating West Brom 2-0 in North London on Monday, and should likewise complete another comfortable home win at the weekend.

Ahead of the game against Brighton, Wenger admitted that he will continue to rotate his squad and confirmed Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott could feature. 

"They [Wilshere and Walcott] are ready to play," said Wenger, when asked if the pair are ready to start in the Premier League.

"That's the rotation system, it gives a breather to players who need one and competition to players who need competition.

"The positive thing of that is I have 20 players to choose from. The negative is that some players who deserve to play will not necessarily play in the next game.

"But that was the same after West Brom - players deserved to play in the Europa League and they have not played. I'll keep the rotation going."
