Chelsea and Brighton face off on Wednesday in an English Premier League showdown at Stamford Bridge. When these two teams faced off in April of 2021 the two teams played to a 0-0 draw. 

Chelsea comes into this game sitting in 3rd place in the standings having picked up 41 points so far. Chelsea has played really well so far this season, and in the last game against Aston Villa, they were able to win 3-1. Jorginho was the top player in that game, finding the back of the net twice. Romelu Lukaku also scored a goal. Chelsea has scored 42 goals total while their defense has given up 13 goals. Mason Mount has been the top player for Chelsea scoring seven goals and adding another four assists. Jorginho has also scored six goals and added one assist. 

On the other side of this matchup is Brighton who sits in 10th place in the standings having picked up 23 points so far this season. Brighton hasn’t won a ton of games the last few months, but they were able to win their last game against Brentford. Brighton scored two goals in the first 42 minutes, and that was the difference as they cruised to the victory. Brighton has scored 40 goals while their defense has given 46 goals total. Neal Maupay has been the top player for Brighton scoring eight goals and adding two assists. Danny Welbeck has also been good, scoring six goals and adding an assist. 

For the most part this season, Chelsea’s defense has been strong, and they are going to slow down Brighton in this game. Look for Brighton to be shutout, and that is going to be the difference. Back Chelsea -1 to cash.
