A rejuvenated Chelsea, eager to secure European competition, will face Brighton & Hove Albion, a team lamenting their fading European hopes, in Wednesday’s Premier League matchup.
Chelsea came out on top in a rollercoaster 3-2 victory against Nottingham Forest last weekend, while Brighton settled for a 1-1 draw against Newcastle United.
Brighton continues its concerning pattern of scoring no more than one goal in a game, a streak that extends to 14 matches across all competitions. They briefly led at St James’ Park on Saturday when Joel Veltman scored the first goal, only to leave the field later due to an injury.
