Paul Merson Gives Shock Arsenal vs Brighton Prediction, Believes There Could Be ‘Unbelievable Result’

Arsenal take on Brighton at the AMEX Stadium on Sunday in the Premier League.

The Gunners have come under fire from sections of the press and there own fans after a disappointing run.

The North London based outfit have lost their last two games, both against Manchester City, both by a 3-0 scorelines, losing out in the Carabao Cup final and the league.

Even Gunners legend Paul Merson has started to lose faith in the team.

The Sky Sports pundit revealed there could end up being an ‘unbelievable result’ but not in Arsenal’s favor.

Merson believes that Brighton could end up winning the game.

In fact he predicts the home side will win the match by a 2-1 scoreline.

“I think Brighton win this game. It’s the Bournemouth game all over again in my opinion,” he wrote for Sky Sports.

“Brighton are playing well at home and Arsenal have gone. I really worry for Arsenal at the moment and the way they are playing I have to back Brighton for victory. If they can pick up the win it would be an unbelievable result for Hughton and his team.”

Arsene Wenger is under mounting pressure after a dismal run of form and will be hoping Merson’s prediction does not come true.

Mesut Ozil is available for selection and has made the match-day team.

The playmaker of Turkish origin is likely to start, unless Wenger decides to rest him ahead of the Europa League clash against AC Milan.

Winning the Europa League is starting to look like the Gunners best chance of qualifying for the Champions League next season.
