Brighton plays host to Chelsea in this Matchday 23 encounter in the Premiership. The home team are in ninth position on the table with 28 points while the visitors are in second position with 43 points. Brighton are unbeaten in their last five matches with just one defeat in their last nine games. They are on 28 points but have dropped points from winning positions on more than two occasions. Brighton have the most drawn matches with 10 of their games ending in a stalemate. They have only won once in their last seven home matches. They have drawn their last two games against Chelsea and the two points gained is more than they have managed in the prior 11 games against Chelsea. Brighton in nine Premier league meetings with Chelsea have never led once in any of the matches.

Chelsea had the opportunity to close Manchester City’s lead to seven points in their last match but a 1-0 loss has meant they are now a mammoth 13 points behind City. Chelsea are a just a point ahead of third placed Liverpool but have played two extra matches. The loss against City was their first league loss in seven matches. While Chelsea have been avoiding defeat, they have also been dropping points due to drawn matches. They have picked up just seven points in their last six matches, dropping 11 points. This poor run of results has almost certainly ended their league ambitions for another year. Chelsea have never lost in thirteen previous matches against Brighton, winning ten and drawing three.
