Brighton Hove Albion vs Chelsea: Preview and Prediction
Chelsea look to extend unbeaten run at Brighton
The Seagulls will be hoping to end Chelsea’s five-game unbeaten run when they welcome them to the Amex Stadium on Sunday.
Chelsea will arrive on the south coast in high spirits having won their last two Premier League matches. They will be looking to make it three wins on the bounce and close the gap on the top four.
Brighton, meanwhile, have lost their last two matches and will be looking to bounce back against a tough opponent.
The corresponding fixture last season saw Chelsea win 3-1 at Stamford Bridge. However, Brighton have a good recent record against the Blues, having won two of their last five meetings.
Team news:
- Chelsea are without N’Golo Kante and Wesley Fofana through injury.
- Brighton are without Jakub Moder and Adam Lallana through injury.
Prediction:
Chelsea are in good form and will be confident of getting a result at Brighton. However, the Seagulls are a tough opponent and will be looking to make it difficult for the Blues.
We predict a close game, but Chelsea’s quality should shine through in the end.
Chelsea to win 2-1.
