Chelsea vs Brighton

Brighton have won consecutive Premier League games against Chelsea for the second time (also April 2023), winning four of their last seven against the Blues (L3), after failing to win any of their first 10 against them in the competition (D4 L6).

Chelsea lost by 2+ goals having been ahead at half time in a Premier League home game for the first time since October 2011 against Arsenal (5-3).

Chelsea’s Enzo Fernández has been directly involved in 18 non-penalty goals (8 goals, 10 assists) in all competitions in 2025, the most of any central midfielder for Premier League clubs.

In all competitions, Chelsea have won nine and lost just one of their 12 previous home games against Brighton and Hove Albion (D2), winning their last three in a row since a 1-2 reverse in April 2023.

Brighton have won three of their last six league meetings with Chelsea (L3), this after winning none of their first 14 beforehand (D4 L10).

Chelsea have conceded twice in each of their last two Premier League matches, as many times as they’d done in their previous 15 games combined. They last did that in three games in a row in March and April 2024 (five in a row).

Brighton and Hove Albion have only kept one clean sheet in their last 17 Premier League matches, a 2-0 win over Wolves in May. Since the start of 2023-24, the only ever-present sides with fewer clean sheets than the Seagulls (14) are West Ham and Wolves (13 each).

91.8% of Chelsea’s passes in the Premier League this season have been short passes, the highest ratio of any side in the division. Brighton meanwhile have played 13.2% of their passes long, their highest in a season since 2018-19 (18.6%).
