Brighton have struggled to maintain their strong start to the 2024/25 Premier League season and are 10th. Fabian Hürzeler’s side have won just two of their previous 12 league matches.

Those two wins came consecutively at Ipswich 2-0 and Man United 3-1. Brighton then lost 1-0 at home against Everton and were thrashed 7-0 at Nottingham Forest.

The Sussex outfit responded with a 2-1 comeback FA Cup win against Chelsea at the Amex. Bart Verbruggen scored an early own goal and Georginio Rutter and Karou Mitoma completed the comeback.

Brighton Injuries & Team News

Defenders Ferdi Kadioglu, Igor Julion and Lewis Dunk are injured and unlikely to make the squad.

Goalkeeper Jason Steele and midfielder James Milner are set to miss out due to injury.

Georginio Rutter is likely to start on Friday after scoring five goals and assisting once in his last six matches.

Chelsea Form

Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea are also in patchy recent form, failing to win in seven of their previous 10 in all competitions. The Blues are winless in five successive away games and haven’t won on the road since mid-December.

Chelsea have struggled to generate winning momentum in the Premier League recently. Home wins over Wolves 3-1 and West Ham 2-1 came either side of a 3-1 loss at Man City.

The West London side lost a second conseucitve away game and fell to a 2-1 cup defeat at Brighton. Chelsea led through Brighton’s own goal but struggled to use their 58% possession and conceded twice.

Chelsea Injuries & Team News

Attacker Mykhailo Mudryk is suspended.

Defensive duo Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile are unavailable due to injury.

Midfielder Romeo Lavia and forward pair Marc Guiu and Omari Kellyman are also injured.

Verdict

Brighton v Chelsea

Brighton and Chelsea look shaky at the back and goals are anticipated in this Premier League clash. BTTS with over 2.5 goals has decent value at the Amex.
