Chelsea host a tricky Brighton side at Stamford Bridge on Saturday as they look for their fourth consecutive win in a row. 

They come off the back of a 5-0 win over Barrow in the Carabao Cup with their last Premier League game being a fantastic 3-0 win over West Ham at the London Stadium.

The Blues haven’t conceded a goal since they drew with Crystal Palace at the start of September. Enzo Maresca has got his team playing some excellent football but they face a big test in Brighton.

The Seagulls are still unbeaten this season despite facing Arsenal and Manchester United. Fabian Hurzeler’s side has been one of the most impressive teams in the league.

Reece James has been ruled out of the game against Brighton, but midfielder Romeo Lavia could return from his thigh injury and is currently being assessed.

The Blues are cautious favourites over tough Brighton

The Blues do have the better side on paper and also have the home advantage. Despite that, Oddschecker only has Enzo Maresca’s side at 3/4 to win.

That gives Chelsea a 57% chance to win, whereas Brighton are backed at 18/5 (22%) and a draw at 13/4 (23%).

We predict a 3-1 win for Chelsea as they seem to have figured out their early defensive issues and seem to be scoring for fun. It should be a high-scoring affair in what could be the highlight game of the weekend.
