Chelsea vs Brighton betting tips and summary

Chelsea to win – unbeaten at home so far this campaign

Joao Pedro to have 1+ shot on target – scored in his last home game, against Fulham

Chelsea to have 4+ corners – has landed in every game this season 

The English Premier League returns to Stamford Bridge this weekend as Brighton travel to the capital to face an injury-stricken Chelsea side.

Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea side were defeated in Gameweek 5 – falling to a 2-1 loss away at Man Utd.  

It was a frustrating match for the Blues, who were dearly punished for their own mistakes – none more notable than Robert Sanchez’s red card in the fifth minute. 

Chelsea responded with a 2-1 midweek win over Lincoln in the Carabao Cup and now aim to regain momentum in the league.

Brighton, meanwhile, had a more successful Gameweek 5 – drawing to one of the league’s most in-form sides, Tottenham Hotspur. 

Despite failing to capitalise on a 2-0 lead, Fabian Hurzeler’s side showed a lot of promise once again, highlighting their capabilities of going head-to-head against any side in the division. 

Yankuba Minteh impressed once again, registering his second goal contribution in as many games. The Gambian international will be looking to carry on this fine run of form this weekend.
