Recent form
Brighton
Brighton's recent form has been mixed, with the team struggling to find consistency. They have suffered three consecutive defeats, including a heavy 4-0 loss at home to Manchester City and a 3-0 defeat away to Bournemouth. These high-scoring games against Brighton highlight their defensive vulnerabilities. However, they managed to bounce back with a hard-fought 1-0 win at home against Aston Villa, showing resilience. Their most recent result, a 1-1 draw away to Newcastle, suggests they are still capable of picking up points against tough opposition. Brighton's goal-scoring record has been poor, averaging just 0.5 goals per game in their last six matches, while conceding an average of 2 goals per game.
Chelsea
Chelsea's recent form has been impressive, with the team currently on a three-game winning streak in the Premier League. The Blues have bounced back strongly from their consecutive defeats against Arsenal and Manchester City, scoring an impressive 10 goals in their last three league matches while conceding only two. The 5-0 victory over West Ham stands out as a particularly dominant performance, showcasing Chelsea's attacking prowess. However, the heavy 5-0 loss to Arsenal and the narrow 1-0 defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup highlight some inconsistencies in their form. Overall, Chelsea's recent results suggest that they are capable of both high-scoring victories and defensive solidity, but they need to address their vulnerability against top teams to maintain their push for a higher position in the league table.
