The earliest meeting in the current dataset came on 31 August 2024 in the Premier League Regular Season - 3 at the Emirates Stadium, where Arsenal and Brighton drew 1-1 after a 1-0 half-time lead for the hosts.

Arsenal won 2-0 after a goalless first half, asserting control in knockout football. That was followed by two Premier League wins for Arsenal in the 2025 season: a 2-1 home victory on 27 December 2025 in Regular Season - 18 at the Emirates Stadium (1-0 at half-time), and a 1-0 away win at the Amex Stadium on 4 March 2026 in Regular Season - 29 (0-1 at half-time).
