Brighton v Chelsea Match Preview
It’s Valentine’s night on the south coast, but don’t expect any love lost between Brighton and Chelsea.
Six days ago in the FA Cup, the Seagulls dumped out a toothless Chelsea side thanks to a controversial Kaoru Mitoma goal, and will have their tails up in an attempt to register a league win over the Blues for the first time since April 2023.
Chelsea are in somewhat of a crisis following the news that forward Nicholas Jackson will be sidelined through injury until April.
With a lack of attacking options, Enzo Maresca’s talisman Cole Palmer will be relied upon more than ever to breach the Brighton attack inside the AMEX.
With just four wins in their last 10 Premier League outings, Chelsea are beginning to slip into a congested pack fighting for the Champions League spots.
An inability to keep a clean sheet and a lack of effectiveness in the final third has seen question marks growing over the head of Enzo Maresca, and things don’t look much easier returning to Brighton on Friday night.
Chelsea were dominated by Brighton last weekend in the cup, struggling to get a foothold in a scrappy contest and Fabian Hurzeler was able to see his side through to another fifth round tie.
Brighton’s league form is actually worse than Chelsea’s.
Two wins in their last ten – alongside five draws – see Brighton lingering in mid-table, with only six sides in the league conceding more goals than them.
Black and blue
Chelsea's injury list might not be at the length of their London rivals Tottenham, but with key players missing in key positions, Maresca is finding it hard getting consistent performers out of his Blues.
Cole Palmer has been responsible for most, if not all, of the positive attacking displays this campaign, and the 22-year-old may well be deployed as a false nine without Nicholas Jackson or Marc Guiu to rely on.
But even if Chelsea struggle in front of goal, they are likely to be given a helping hand by a Brighton side that has conceded 38 goals in 24 games.
Both teams to score at 4/9 with Betfred looks a dead cert on Friday night.
Brighton stalemates
Brighton have drawn six of their last 12 league matches and seemed destined to float around in and around 10th all season.
There have only been two goals or more between these two sides twice in the last 10 meetings and on current form it’s pretty hard to argue either corner decisively.
There’s only one clean sheet between these two across their last 10 matches and a score draw looks like it’s going to be unwrapped this Valentine’s.
It's hard to ignore the draw at 5/2 with Betfred.
