Brighton Team News
Graham Potter’s departure to Chelsea definitely affected Brighton’s form. Just two points from five games under Roberto de Zerbi suggests that transition won’t be as smooth as some expected when the Italian arrived.
In past years, Brighton has been graced with a very imaginative play in attack. That part of the team is not working now. Only one goal has been scored in last four matches and this is something that De Zerbi will have to work on the most. Despite their outstanding start to the season, Brighton are only six points ahead of Leeds United who are in 18th place. They will have to improve their form a lot because in the Premier League it is a very short way from the top to the bottom if you are not one of the six big English clubs.
This match against Chelsea will definitely be about former Brighton coach. Entire stadium will welcome Potter to thank him once again for all the good things he has done for their club, with the wish that this time his team doesn’t win three points.
Chelsea Team News
Potter arrival in London revived Chelsea. Under Thomas Tuchel leadership, “Blues” didn’t look motivated and it was visible in the results. As soon as there was a change on the coaching bench, they started to play with a lot more energy.
With two wins against Milan, Chelsea secured first place in the Champions League. This was confirmed on Tuesday night when they beat Salzburg at road. Now, they are turning their full focus to the Premier League where they are currently in fifth position. Anything below top 4 after 38 rounds will be considered a disaster, so Chelsea will be looking to secure a place leading into next season’s Champions League sooner rather than later.
Chelsea travels to Brighton with a lot of optimism. They are in excellent form and their defense is working great. They conceded only two goals in last seven matches, which is impressive. On top of all that, Potter knows everything about opposing team because it was he who selected that team.

Brighton vs. Chelsea Prediction
