Brighton vs Chelsea Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Seagulls ready to welcome the Blues for the Premier League clash.

Brighton are all set to host Chelsea once again but this time it will be on matchday 25 of the Premier League 2024-25 season. The Seagulls in their last game defeated their upcoming opponents to knock them out of the FA Cup 2024-25. Regarding Premier League standings, Brighton are in the 10th spot and the Blues are in the fourth spot.

Brighton pulled off an upset when they defeated the Blues in the FA Cup fourth-round fixture. It was also a home game for the Seagulls. It will be interesting to see what approach Brighton will come up with.

In the EPL, the Seagulls have come up with some average performances. They have won eight out of 24 matches played so far in the league.

Chelsea on the other hand are having a decent season when it comes to the Premier League as they are currently sitting in the Champions League spot. From the Blues, no one was able to score any goal despite having all of their important players on the field in the FA Cup bout. The team now will be looking for revenge here. Enzo Maresca will surely come up with a different strategy here.

Players to Watch

Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton)

Hailing from Japan, Kaoru Mitoma came up with a top performance last time out. The Japanese winger scored the match-winner for Brighton and secured the Player of the Match title for his performance in the match. He will yet again be a big threat for the visitors. Kaoru Mitoma will be leading the attack from the left side and can once again help the Seagulls beat the Blues.

Cole Palmer (Chelsea)

The English midfielder is the top scorer for Chelsea in the Premier League this season. He has scored a total of 14 goals in 24 matches. Cole Palmer is also the assists leader for the Blues with six assists.

He will have to step up this time as his side are once again going to face Brighton. The Blues will be under pressure and Cole Palmer will have to drop a special performance here.
