The Premier League finally returned! The games are played behind closed doors because of the COVID-19 pandemic and we will have a very exciting contest on Saturday, when Brighton and Hove Albion hosts Arsenal.
Brighton and Hove Albion is 15th in the Premier League standings with 29 points in 29 games, just two points ahead of the relegation spots while Arsenal is in ninth place with 40 points in 29 games. Brighton and Hove Albion played to a 0-0 road draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers on March 7 while Arsenal lost 3-0 on the road against Manchester City on Wednesday.
Let's take a closer look at where the value is in this matchup.

Projected Leaders
Simulations I have run project Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Neal Maupay, Edward Nketiah, Leandro Trossard and Aaron Mooy as the players most likely to score (four of these five players are from Brighton and Hove Albion).
In 10,000 simulations Arsenal won 33.2 percent of the time, Brighton and Hove Albion won 35.7 percent and there was a 31.2 percent chance of a draw. The leading scorer for Brighton & Hove Albion is Neal Maupay with a 34.0 percent chance of getting one or more goals. When Maupay has at least one goal Brighton & Hove Albion has a 61% chance to win.
Arsenal really struggled on Wednesday and Brighton and Hove Albion will have some rust after being out of action since March 7. Look for a low-scoring game on Saturday. I can see a 1-0 win for either team, a 1-1 draw, or a 0-0 draw.
