Brighton & Hove Albion will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 1-1 result against Newcastle United last time out.  They achieved 45% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Newcastle United's tally of 18 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.  

The last 6 games have been a mixed bag for them and the 5 points they have picked up belies their poor defending and unremarkable goal scoring of late, having only managed 3 goals whilst conceding 12 at the other end.  So far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 30 of their 36 games.  

Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.

Chelsea enter this game with a comfortable 3-2 away win over Nottingham Forest last time out in the league.  In that game they recorded 68 % of the possession, with 12 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 20 shots on goal.  

Mauricio Pochettino will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 18 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have conceded 9 goals during those same matches.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they've conceded a goal in their 15 most recent trips.  

They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.  

Goalscorer Cole Palmer will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Chelsea.
