Brighton vs Chelsea Preview
The mid-week Premier League fixture of Brighton vs Chelsea holds a massive significance for both teams as far as their 2023-2024 season is concerned. For Brighton, it is all about finishing as high on the table as they can by winning as many points as they can from their remaining fixtures of the campaign.
After an impressive start to the league season, the Seagulls’ season has recently kind of fizzled out. One can say that the Injuries have played a major part in it, but still, they fall short of capitalizing on the early momentum that they gained in the initial stages of the ongoing top-flight campaign. Roberto De Zerbi would be willing to set his team up to deliver a sound performance against the visitors Chelsea on Wednesday.
On the other hand, Chelsea are pretty much eyeing a potential European spot in the Premier League table. But the race for that berth is not going to be easy for the Blues, as they are closely followed by Newcastle and Manchester United in that race. However, with the recent run of good results, and swash-buckling on-field performances, the Londoners are most likely out of these three teams to go and grab that sixth position in the table.
