Brighton on the European Charge
Fabian Hurzeler’s Brighton have climbed into the Premier League’s top half after strong recent form. The Seagulls are one point off the top six following five wins in seven matches.
Brighton won three games in a row, beating Sunderland 1-0, Liverpool 2-1 and Burnley 2-0. The Sussex team had 1.68 XG or more in each of those victories.
The Seagulls continued their unbeaten run with a 2-2 comeback draw at Tottenham on Saturday. Karou Mitoma levelled in the first half and Georginio Rutter also struck a 95th-minute equaliser.
Chelsea Slipping Away From the Top Five
Chelsea’s Champions League qualification hopes have taken a hit following a four-match losing streak. The Blues have lost more games than any other side in that period and sit seven points outside the top five.
Liam Rosenior’s side lost four games in all competitions, conceding 12, before a 7-0 FA Cup win over Port Vale. Chelsea couldn’t build on that victory and lost 3-0 at home against Man City in the Premier League, allowing 2.29 XG.
The Blues’ downturn continued with a 1-0 home defeat against top-five rivals Man United. They conceded after 43 minutes and couldn’t respond with 21 shots and 1.57 XG.
Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News
Brighton (4-2-3-1): Bart Verbruggen; Mats Wieffer, Jan Paul van Hecke, Oliver Boscagli, Ferdi Kadioglu; Yasin Ayari, Pascal Gross; Georginio Rutter, Jack Hinshelwood, Yankuba Minteh; Danny Welbeck
Forward Diego Gomez is unlikely to feature against Chelsea after coming off injured during the Tottenham game.
Striker Stefanos Tzimas, defender Adam Webster and midfielder James Milner are sidelined due to injury.
Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Robert Sanchez; Malo Gusto, Wesley Fofana, Jorrel Hato, Marc Cucurella; Romeo Lavia, Moises Caicedo; Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer, Alejandro Garnacho; Liam Delap
Defenders Levi Colwill and Reece James are injured. Attacker Jamie Gittens and goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen are also unavailable due to injury.
Midfielder Enzo Fernandez and forward Estevao were injured against Man United and are doubtful here. Liam Rosenior gave a post-match update on Estevao’s condition and said, “He was crying at half time, it was really devastating for him.
“It looks like it's his hamstring, and that has happened in a moment when he's running through on their goal for a one-v-one chance. I hope Este comes back sooner rather than later.”
Verdict
Brighton have momentum in their push for a European spot in the Premier League. Chelsea look low on confidence and the Seagulls can take advantage with a home victory.
