Chelsea vs Brighton Match Preview
Brighton have never scored a goal, let alone got a positive result, away to Chelsea and we do not see that changing this weekend.
The Seagulls’ 3-0 win away to Watford on the opening full day of the Premier League season is starting to be a distant memory and their only subsequent victory was against Bristol Rovers in the Carabao Cup – a competition they exited at home to Aston Villa this week.
The problem for Brighton under manager Graham Potter is the same as when Chris Hughton was in charge – they do not score enough goals and created nowhere near enough chances despite having the vast majority of possession in last week’s 0-0 draw at Newcastle.
