Brighton vs Chelsea Preview and Team News
Brighton Team News
After having achieved the rare honour of beating Chelsea 2-1 in the FA Cup recently, Brighton will be keen on repeating the same when the two teams meet, this time in the Premier League, on Valentine’s Day.
Brighton will be on cloud number nine after their victory over Chelsea in the FA Cup, and their fans will expect them to carry the same momentum into this fixture as well. However, the hosts need to be wary of complacency in this game.

They will be without the services of quite a few players in this game, including Solly March, Igor, Jason Steele, James Milner and Pervis Estupinan, among others.
The absence of March, Milner and Estupinan will hurt Brighton the most as these players are known for their tireless approach on the pitch. However, they will be keen on playing with a wide attacking lineup in this game so as to allow the Chelsea defenders less space.
The crosses that Brighton employ on a regular basis will not go unnoticed in this game, as will the overloading of their wings. Kaoru Mitoma, who is one of their most important players up front, will have to juggle his role as the creator as well as goalscorer in this match.
Brighton predicted lineup vs Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, Lamptey; Gomez, O’Riley; Minteh, Rutter, Mitoma; Pedro.
Chelsea Team News
Chelsea are among the best teams in the Premier League at the moment, ranked in the fourth position of the table, and will be keen on avenging their 1-2 defeat to Brighton in the FA Cup recently.
Their opponents are perched upon the 10th spot of the league table at the moment. Chelsea, known for their short passes and creation of acute angles while pushing forward, will have to be composed whenever they enter into the final third in this game.

In their previous game, Chelsea were hampered by the lack of quality in the final third, and they will hope to rectify that as quickly as possible in this match.
Manager Enzo Maresca, who was appointed at the start of the season, has allowed all his players the freedom and opportunity to express themselves but also mandated them to not waste too much time on the ball.
This tactic allows Chelsea to attack relentlessly without giving their opponents enough time to either fall back or retain their shape.
The likes of Nicolas Jackson, Benoît Badiashile, Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia and David Fofana are among some of the players missing in action for Chelsea in this match.
Chelsea predicted lineup vs Brighton (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Gusto, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Nkunku.
Brighton vs Chelsea Prediction
- Pick: Chelsea to win or draw
- Odds: -270 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Brighton 1-1 Chelsea
Chelsea have an upper hand over Brighton in this game, and will be expected to either win or draw. Despite their recent loss to the same opponents at the same stadium, Chelsea will enjoy superiority over them. In the 20 recorded games between the two teams in the past, Chelsea have won or drawn 16, which gives them a historical advantage.
Even at this venue, the Blues have won or drawn seven out of the 10 matches played between the two teams. The stats get better for Chelsea, as they have won or drawn six out of the seven matches played between the two teams at this venue in the Premier League.
Brighton vs Chelsea Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -213 (20Bet)
We expect both teams to score in this game since we have seen this happen in nine out of the ten matches they have played against each other in the past. Even in their previous fixture, in the FA Cup, both teams got on the scoresheet (2-1).
Both Brighton and Chelsea have a lot of top attacking players in their ranks who will not be easily kept quiet or pegged inside their half. Brighton have scored in three out of their last five matches whereas Chelsea have seen both teams get on the scoresheet in their last five outings.
