Brighton
- Brighton have won four of their last five Premier League games, including their last three.
- Brighton, fresh from a 2-1 home win against Liverpool and a 2-0 victory away at Burnley, are in great form ahead of the visit of an off-form Chelsea side on Tuesday.
- Fabian Hurzeler has been able to build a flexible system at Brighton that involves possession-based soccer, changing shape to suffocate opponents, and then allowing clinical finishing to do the rest.
- Danny Welbeck has been in particularly good form, scoring 12 Premier League goals in 31 appearances this season and netting three in the last five.
Chelsea

Betting Insights
- Brighton are rightful favourites for this game considering their recent form, Chelsea’s results, and their home advantage.

- Brighton score an average of 1.50 goals per home game in the Premier League this season, while they concede an average of 1.06.
- Home win odds are 2.58, Over 2.5 goals is 1.73, and Both Teams to Score - Yes is 1.53.
Prediction
