Since being dismissed by Arsenal in 2019, Unai Emery has frequently sought revenge, from knocking the Gunners out of the Europa League semi-finals with Villarreal in the 2020-21 season to securing two Premier League wins over them last year. However, last weekend, Emery’s run of avenging his departure came to an end. Arsenal defeated Aston Villa 2-0, thanks to Leandro Trossard’s precise finish and a long-range goal from Thomas Partey—though Emiliano Martinez played a role in that goal.

While Trossard and Partey made significant contributions, the standout moment of the match came in the Arsenal goal area, where David Raya delivered what could be remembered as one of the Premier League’s finest saves from Ollie Watkins's close-range header.

Thanks to key performances at both ends of the pitch, Arsenal are one of only four teams with a perfect six points from their first two matches of the 2024-25 Premier League season, alongside Brighton, Liverpool, and Manchester City. Arsenal's victory extended their winning streak in the Premier League to eight games. Should Mikel Arteta lead them to another win on Saturday, Arsenal will match a 20-year record of nine consecutive Premier League victories, last achieved by the Invincibles in the 2003-04 season.

Brighton’s perfect record under Hurzeler is impressive, but the manager faces a challenge in breaking a London jinx. Last season, the Seagulls failed to win any of their seven away matches against London clubs. Their most recent London triumph was a 3-0 win over Arsenal at the Emirates in May 2023, although Arsenal later exacted revenge with two victories, including a 3-0 win at the Amex.
