Chelsea host Brighton at the Stamford Bridge. This will be the 16th all-time meeting between the two sides.
The Blues have had a good start to their 2024-2025 campaign They have only lost their opening Premier League match against current Champions Manchester City. All the other games for Chelsea have either been a draw or a win.
Enzo Maresca’s men have also registered some dominant victories in the English League. One of the prominent victories this season has been against Wolves FC where the Blues won with a 6-2 scoreline. The main goal scorers in the match were Noni Madueke, Nicolas Jackson, Joao Felix and Cole Palmer.
Chelsea were also among the most active clubs in the summer transfer window. Many new players have made their way to Stamford Bridge. The impact that new players like Jadon Sancho, Raheem Sterling and Pedro Neto have made is very significant.
Mareca’s men are on an unbeaten streak for four games now. They would look to continue this streak when they host Brighton at their home. Chelsea have come out fresh with a recent EFL Cup victory. They defeated their opponent Barrow with a 5-0 scoreline.
Brighton however has not had a very good start to their new season campaign. The Seagulls have struggled early this season. They have failed to win their last three fixtures in the Premier League. A win over the Blues will be a huge confidence boost for Fabian Hurzeler.
Chelsea’s current form
Chelsea would be well satisfied with the way they are currently playing this season. The Blues’ last season was underwhelming as they finished 6th on the Premier League table. they also lost the Carabao Cup to Arne Slot’s Liverpool.
The club was finally getting under control by their ex-manager Mauricio Pochettino. The manager faced some issues with the directors of the club and decided to leave Chelsea. This management gap created a serious problem for the team.
The arrival of the Italian manager Enzo Maresca has been a blessing in disguise for the Blues. The manager’s tactics for the team have been fruitful for the squad. The Italian has managed to pick out the perfect playing squad in a crowded Chelsea camp.
Chelsea faced fellow English club Barrow in the round of 16 of the EFL Cup. The Blues took full advantage of Barrow’s weak defence and scored 5 goals in the match. The forward Christopher Nkunku scored a hattrick and Pedro Neto scored his first goal for the club. An unfortunate own goal was also conceded by Barrow’s Paul Farman as per Goal.
The Blues will look to continue their winning streak in the upcoming Premier League games. Enzo Maresca’s men will face the Seagulls at their own home stadium. A win against Brighton will help Chelsea rack up points and climb up the table of the English League. The match should be understated as this would be an important match for both sides.
Brighton eye key points
Brighton are also on an unbeaten streak before facing Chelsea this weekend. They have not managed to win their last three games but some draw.
The Seagulls have come from a 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest. The goal scorers for Hove Albion were Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck. Nottingham also concede a red card against the seagulls. Fabian Hurzeler’s side has been impressive this campaign as their current form has been on the good side.
The seagulls will look to sharpen their attacking and defensive lineups. The competition will be tough for Brighton as they face Chelsea who are in terrific form. An upset for Maresca’s side will be a huge turning point in Chelsea’s position on the Premier League table. If Hove Albion come out on top, it would be a confidence boost for Hurzeler’s men.
