Chelsea will face Brighton in week 31 of the 2022/2023 English Premier League which can be watched via live streaming on Peacock, SiriusXM FC, NBC Sports, or Sling TV on Saturday, April 15 2023, ET.
The home side had just been humiliated 2-0 by Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League in midweek and had to put their dream of becoming European champions this season behind them.
If they want to play in Europe again next year, the Blues must really improve their performance, because they have played four times without being able to score goals in all competitions for the first time since 1993.
Frank Lampard who became an impromptu manager said ‘great things can happen at Stamford Bridge’, but that’s just nonsense, because Chelsea have won only once in their last six Premier League home games, and only scored in two of them. The Blues have also failed to score a first-half goal in their last eight league games at home, their poorest record in the Premier League era.
Brighton come to London on the back of their first away defeat since October, although they felt hurt by a refereeing decision in their 2-1 loss to Tottenham last week. Roberto De Zerbi, who is the head coach, cannot give instructions here, even though the Seagulls want to continue to compete to finish in the top six.
De Zerbi picked up his first win as Brighton manager against Chelsea but he will have to keep his players focused as there is an FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United next week which could distract them. Brighton are also looking to get revenge for three straight defeats in the PL, and with a record as one of the best away teams in the division with 22 points this season, they will not be easily beaten by Chelsea.
Alexis Mac Allister, Kaoru Mitoma and Solly March are Brighton & Hove Albion’s attacking trio this season with eight, seven and six goals respectively.
On the other hand, Kai Havertz is Chelsea’s top player this season with seven goals, three of which opened the scoring in the match.
