PREVIEW & TIPS FOR Chelsea vs Brighton
On Tuesday night, from 20:00, Chelsea receives the visit of Brighton, in the 32nd round of the Premier League. It is a backlog caused by the fact that Chelsea played in the weekend in the English Cup semifinals, where Thomas Tuchel’s team managed the surprise: they eliminated Manchester City from the competition, score 1-0, after Ziyech’s goal! Again, it was a dream defensive performance for the London club.
Tuchel has a phenomenal record since taking over Chelsea and has already defeated renowned coaches in his short term. Obviously, Chelsea starts as the big favorite in the dispute with Brighton, which is very important for the hosts: The Blues are fighting hard for a place in the Top 4 at the end of the season, while Brighton is saved from relegation. The mission has not been completed yet, but the signs are good.
Chelsea Team News
However, this does not mean that the “seagulls” will step aside on Tuesday night! Brighton have a “habit” of playing very well against the Giants and have produced surprises in recent years, which he hopes once again. Graham Potter has a very well organized and talented team, but Chelsea’s possession game should keep the danger away from the hosts’ goal.
Chelsea can’t count on Kovacic and Christiansen, injured, while Brighton comes to Stamford Bridge without Lamptey, March, Connolly and Tau, injured. Of these, only Lamptey and March are difficult to replace, but the English defender could even leave at the end of the season, so it is a good opportunity for experiments in the guest camp.
Chelsea play in a well-known style: they grind their opponents with short passes, and then Werner, Mount or Ziyech bring the necessary “explosion” for the last 30 meters. Overall, Chelsea has a very valuable attack, and Brighton must play perfectly to escape without a goal received from the Londoners.
Chelsea is on the 5th place in the Premier League, with 54 points (goal difference 50-31), but it only has two points to recover until Leicester, which is on the podium! They play hard at the end of the season, because the stakes are high, and Chelsea cannot afford wrong steps.
Brighton Team News
Instead, Brighton is in 16th place (goal average 33-38) and has 33 points, 6 over the first team below the relegation line, Fulham. But Fulham also have two more games played than the “seagulls”, who still need about 9 points to be sure of salvation. Chelsea probably aren’t the opponent to hope for, but the WBA has recently shown that the Blues can be defeated.
Two stages later, Chelsea were defeated by the WBA at home (2-5), but then followed successes with FC Porto (2-0), Crystal Palace (4-1) and Manchester City (1-0), which they strengthened the morale of the Londoners. Brighton comes after a valuable 0-0 with Everton, and in the last four stages it has achieved vital successes with Southampton (2-1) and Newcastle (3-0).
The calculations are far from over in the basement, and a new draw could be golden for Graham Potter’s team. Chelsea won the round, 3-1, with a very good record against Brighton, in recent years: 6 victories in the previous 7 direct duels! Chelsea’s good performance is repeated and we see a new success of the hosts.
