Chelsea will aim to keep the pressure on title-chasing Liverpool and Manchester City when they host Brighton & Hove Albion at Stamford Bridge in Thursday’s Premier League clash. Although the hosts romped over Aston Villa on Boxing Day, Thomas Tuchel had to witness Thiago Silva and N’Golo Kante being forced off the field due to injuries.
Having returned to winning ways in the Premier League, the Blues have moved level on points with second-placed Liverpool, but Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are still at the top of the points table.
By the way, Brighton certainly are a tough team to crack in away games, and the Seagulls may have another opportunity to extend their winning momentum. The Brighton faithful had something to cheer as Graham Potter’s men came up trumps in a 2-0 Boxing Day success over Brentford in their previous game. Prior to that the Seagulls’ winless run stood at 12 games in all competitions and 11 in the Premier League.
In nine head-to-head encounters between the two clubs, Chelsea hold the clear advantage with six wins, while the visitors have won only one game, with the other two finishing as draws. The game for both sides promises to be an exciting one and fans here can check the details of Chelsea vs Brighton & Hove Albion Premier League clash live streaming online and TV details.
