Chelsea is gearing up to maintain their strong performance as the season winds down, eyeing a coveted spot in European competitions under Mauricio Pochettino's leadership. However, they face a challenging midweek visit to Brighton, who have also experienced a recent upturn in form. Both teams have faced challenges this season due to injuries, with Brighton aiming for a top 10 finish and Chelsea hopeful for a place in the Europa League.
The Blues go into this match as the favourites at Evens with Betfred while hosts Brighton are 12/5 to keep their recent form going and a draw is 11/4. Chelsea lost last season's trip to the Amex 4-1 - which is 22/1 for history to repeat itself - but have never lost consecutive visits against the Seagulls in all competitions
Currently, Chelsea holds the 7th position in the Premier League standings, leading their upcoming opponents by nine points after securing three consecutive victories. Their recent form has put them in contention for a Europa Conference League spot, contingent on Manchester United's performance in the upcoming FA Cup final.
On the other side, Brighton's manager Roberto De Zerbi is determined to conclude the season positively. Despite the strains of competing in the Europa League and a thin squad depth that was evident throughout the campaign, Brighton remains competitive. With 10 players sidelined, they managed a victory against Aston Villa and secured a draw at Newcastle United, demonstrating resilience and a readiness to compete fiercely in their home games.
