Chelsea, Recent FormChelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 4-1 away mauling from Newcastle United. In that game they had 45% possession and managed 7 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Newcastle United who had 14 attempts and 5 on target.
Whilst he will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 15 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 14 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Stamford Bridge.
This can't be seen as a good run of form at their home stadium, with 3 defeats and only 1 win from their last 6 league matches there.
Nicolas Jackson will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Chelsea.
Brighton & Hove Albion, Recent FormBrighton & Hove Albion will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 3-2 win in their away outing against Nottingham Forest. In that game they recorded 54 % of the possession, with 11 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 18 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Their goal scoring now stands at 29 games in a row, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 17 games.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
On an individual basis, João Pedro is giving Brighton & Hove Albion's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 3 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
Brighton & Hove Albion recorded a 1-2 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
