Brighton vs Chelsea: Blues Aim for Europe, Seagulls Look to Halt Slide
Saturday's Match-Up Hosts In-Form Chelsea Facing Struggling Brighton
Brighton, United Kingdom - Chelsea will travel to the south coast on Saturday, looking to continue their revival under Graham Potter and bolster their hopes of a top-four finish. Meanwhile, Brighton & Hove Albion will be aiming to end a worrying run of results that has seen them slip into the relegation zone.
Chelsea come into the match following a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace last weekend. Potter's side showed great resilience to come from behind and secure all three points. The Blues are now unbeaten in their last five league matches and are just three points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur.
Brighton, on the other hand, are in dire need of a positive result. The Seagulls have lost their last three league games, conceding nine goals in the process. Roberto De Zerbi's team is now just one point above the relegation zone and will be desperate to avoid getting dragged into a fight for survival.
The corresponding fixture last season ended in a narrow 3-2 victory for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Brighton, however, have enjoyed some success against the Blues in recent years, having gone unbeaten in the previous five meetings between the two sides.
