Title chasing Chelsea plays host to Brighton in this Matchday 20 encounter in the English Premiership. Chelsea are in third place with 41 points while Brighton are in 9th position with 23 points. The hosts are unbeaten in their last six matches with four wins and two draws. Their last match was a 3-1 win over Aston Villa away from home. Their home record is even more impressive and are unbeaten in their last nine matches at Stamford Bridge. They need to win to keep the pressure on leaders Manchester City who are six points ahead of them. Chelsea have not lost in 12 league matches against Brighton winning ten and drawing two. It’s the most the Blues have faced a team without losing. They have only lost the last game of a calendar year once in the last 18 years and that was back in 2011.

Brighton won their last match 2-0 at home against Brentford to end a run of twelve matches without a win. They have been the draw kings in the league with five draws in their last eight matches. They have not won in their last seven away matches with the last away win also against Brentford in September. Brighton have a woeful record at Stamford Bridge as they have failed to score in their last six visits. Their goalless draw last season was their first ever away point in this fixture. Brighton have only lost three times in their last 13 visits to London.
