Premier League Preview

There was a belief that Mauricio Pochettino had turned a corner with his Chelsea side heading into the previous round of matches. However, the Blues look to be back at square one following a disappointing showing at St. James’ Park last weekend. That defeat was their second in four matches, and it leaves them sitting tenth in the Premier League standings. 

Pochettino was quick to question his side’s mentality in that loss, as the Blues fell apart in the final half an hour of the match before falling to a 4-1 loss against Newcastle. Things started well for the Blues, as Raheem Sterling’s effort saw them go in to the half time break on terms. However, Newcastle scored three goals in the final 30 minutes to seal maximum points. Reece James was also sent off to compound Chelsea’s misery.

Brighton will be looking to put together another run of victories after ending their winless sequence at the City Ground last weekend. The victory over Forest ended a three-game drawing run in the Premier League, and it lifted the Seagulls back up to eighth in the league standings. 

Brighton will be aiming for another European finish this term, and a victory on Sunday could see them end the round just a single point behind fifth-placed Tottenham. Evan Ferguson was among the scorers in the 3-2 win over Forest last weekend, with Joao Pedro also netting twice. 

Chelsea vs Brighton Head to Head

Brighton have a fine recent Premier League record against the Blues, as they have won each of the previous two. That includes a 2-1 success at Stamford Bridge in April. Meanwhile, Brighton are unbeaten in their last five Premier League matches against Chelsea. 

Chelsea vs Brighton Prediction

Something is still amiss at Chelsea, and that was obvious to all at St. James’ Park this weekend. Brighton have performed well despite their run of draws in the Premier League, and the motivation of moving to within a point of the European spots this weekend could be enough for them to claim maximum points at Stamford Bridge.
