Brighton vs Chelsea prediction and odds: Thomas Tuchel will look for revenge against Graham Potter's side

Chelsea will be look to get revenge over Brighton & Hove Albion after the south coast club snatched a draw at Stamford Bridge less than three weeks ago.

The Blues are the favourites with Grosvenor Sport at 8/11 while the Albion are 4/1 and a draw is 27/10.

Thomas Tuchel's side have only picked up a one win in their last six Premier League matches and dropped two points against Brighton when Graham Potter's side scored a late equaliser thanks to Danny Welbeck last month.

Chelsea lost to Man City in a match which is all

Now, the Blues will be keen to maintain the six-point gap they have over fourth-place West Ham United - who lost at the weekend to Leeds United at home.

For Potter, a similar performance to the one they saw at the weekend should be suffice to give Chelsea a run for their money.

Despite dominating for the majority of the match, the Seagulls could not pick up all three points against Patrick Vieira's Crystal Palace side - a team Potter is yet to beat since taking over from Chris Hughton.

Team stats

  • Both teams have scored in matches involving Chelsea in 11 out of 22 Premier League games while for Brighton it is 11 out of 20 - both teams to score is 49/50
  • Matches involving Chelsea have finished with three or more goals on 12 occasions in the league while for Brighton it is just five - under 2.5 goals is 3/4
  • Chelsea average 10.77 total corners and 9.55 - over 10.5 corners is evens

Players to watch

For the Albion, it is a choice between Leandro Trossard and Neal Maupay with both attackers playing pivotal roles in the final third for Potter's side.

Trossard is easily having his best season at Brighton and the system Potter employs suits the Belgian to the ground. He is 9/2 to score anytime.

Meanwhile, top scorer Neal Maupay will be looking to frustrate Chelsea's defence as the main man up front. His pressing style could catch Chelsea's defence off guard and was unlucky to have a goal disallowed by VAR against Palace on Friday night.

H2H

This will be the 18th meeting between the two sides with Chelsea boasting an impressive 12 wins, four draws and one defeat in all competitions against the Sussex-based club.

Brighton have never beaten Chelsea in the league in their history - their only win against the Blues happened in January 1933 in the FA Cup, the first match between the two sides.
