Chelsea vs Brighton Preview

  • Draw or Chelsea win
  • Under 3.5 goals

Chelsea look to maintain their promising start to the Premier League season as they host Brighton & Hove Albion at Stamford Bridge.

After a substantial summer investment and a strong opening to the campaign, Enzo Maresca’s side will be keen to continue their upward momentum against a Brighton team yet to taste defeat this season.

Chelsea: Gaining Momentum Under Maresca

After a heavy summer of spending, Chelsea’s new-look squad appears to be finding its stride, securing ten points from their first five league matches (W3, D1, L1).

Those three wins all came in their last four outings, including an impressive 3-0 victory at West Ham last Saturday. Manager Enzo Maresca praised his team’s progress and insists they are heading in the “right direction.”

However, to continue that positive trajectory, Chelsea needs to improve their home form, as they currently hold a two-match winless streak in league games at Stamford Bridge (D1, L1).

While they managed to beat Brighton three times across all competitions last season, the Seagulls have proven to be a challenge in recent Premier League visits, with Chelsea winning only once in their last four league home meetings (D2, L1).

Brighton: Unbeaten, but Stalled by Draws

Brighton enters this match as one of the four unbeaten teams in the Premier League ahead of the round (W2, D3).

Despite this, their momentum has been somewhat stunted by three consecutive draws, although two of those came after they battled back from a goal down, showcasing their fighting spirit. The Seagulls will head to Stamford Bridge with confidence, looking to continue their unbeaten run.

While Brighton’s resilience is commendable, their away form is an area requiring improvement. Fabian Hürzeler’s side has won just two of their last 15 Premier League road trips (D6, L7), a run that began with a 3-2 loss at Stamford Bridge last season.

During this period, Brighton has only managed to score 2+ goals on three occasions, a statistic they will hope to change against Chelsea.

Key Players to Watch

Enzo Fernández (Chelsea)

The midfielder scored twice in this corresponding fixture last season and has proven to be a lucky charm for his team, with his side winning on the last 11 occasions he found the net.

Fernández’s attacking presence from midfield could be pivotal for Chelsea to break through Brighton’s defence.

Yankuba Minteh (Brighton)

A summer signing aimed at strengthening Brighton’s attack, Minteh has yet to make a significant impact in terms of goal contributions, with just one assist and two yellow cards to his name.

His potential to add pace and creativity to Brighton’s forward line makes him one to watch as the Seagulls look for an offensive spark.

Battle at Stamford Bridge: Can Chelsea End Their Home Winless Streak?

Chelsea will be eager to convert their solid form into a home victory, breaking their two-match winless run at Stamford Bridge.

With key players like Fernández in fine form and a team progressing well under Maresca, the Blues have the tools to secure all three points. However, they will be wary of Brighton’s unbeaten record and their resilience to fight back from losing positions.

Brighton’s Away Challenges: A Chance to Improve on the Road?

For Brighton, this match offers an opportunity to shake off their away struggles and secure a notable result at a tough venue.

If they can show the same character and fight that helped them secure recent draws, they have a chance to maintain their unbeaten streak and push Chelsea to their limits.

Final Thoughts

Chelsea will look to continue their strong start and make Stamford Bridge a fortress again, while Brighton aims to overcome their away-day woes and maintain their unbeaten record.

With both teams possessing creative talents and a determination to improve, this match could be a tightly contested battle in West London.

Will Chelsea continue their upward momentum with a home win, or can Brighton keep their unbeaten run intact and claim a result on the road?
