Brighton vs Chelsea Prediction
Chelsea Aim To Maintain Winning Run at Brighton
Written by: [Author Name]
Chelsea will arrive on the south coast in high spirits having fought from behind at the weekend to snatch a vital win at St. James' Park. They face a Brighton side who have endured a tough start to the season but have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks.
Brighton have lost both meetings with Chelsea since winning promotion to the Premier League in 2017. However, they will be confident of causing an upset on Saturday as they look to continue their recent good form.
The Blues must win to make sure they remain in the race for a top-four finish. They will be without the suspended Mateo Kovacic, but Mason Mount and Hakim Ziyech are both pushing for recalls to the starting XI.
Brighton are likely to be without the injured Adam Lallana and Enock Mwepu. Leandro Trossard and Marc Cucurella are both doubts, but Danny Welbeck could return to the squad.
The match is evenly poised, but Chelsea will be confident of taking all three points. They have a superior squad and have been in better form in recent weeks.
Prediction: Chelsea to win 2-1.
