Chelsea, Recent FormThe 1-0 away defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers will not have sat easily with the Chelsea squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 62%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Wolverhampton Wanderers, who had 9 shots on goal with 4 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have been misfiring up front at home recently, having been unable to produce a goal in 4 of their last 6 matches. When playing at home this season, Chelsea has notched up a tally of 6 clean sheets, highlighting the struggle some of their opponents have had to break through on goal.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 home games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Brighton & Hove Albion, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 away defeat by Tottenham Hotspur will have left the Brighton & Hove Albion squad feeling a little deflated. In that game they had 65% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Tottenham Hotspur who had 9 attempts and 3 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 7 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Their run of scoring away from home now extends to 9 games. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches can be counted as a good run of form, particularly with 3 victories included.
With 3 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Brighton & Hove Albion, Evan Ferguson will be looking to add more goals against Chelsea in this match.
Chelsea will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Brighton & Hove Albion, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 4-1 defeat.
In each of the previous 3 matches against Chelsea, The Seagulls have let in at least one goal.
When playing away from home in the league, Brighton have failed to win any of their last 5 meetings with Chelsea, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Back), César Azpilicueta (Concussion), Armando Broja (Knee), Noni Madueke (Ankle) and Thiago Silva (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Roberto De Zerbi has a number of injury concerns in his Brighton squad to contend with: Adam Lallana (Hamstring), Tariq Lamptey (Knee), Jakub Moder (Cruciate ligament) and Jeremy Sarmiento (Foot)
