Chelsea vs Brighton previewWe might be heading into winter but the skies are looking much brighter above Stamford Bridge.
The Blues appear to have turned the corner having won their last three matches in all competitions – scoring nine goals and conceding none!
Only Manchester City have scored more goals in the Premier League this season, while their xGC (expected goals conceded) is the eighth best in the division (5.90).
Enzo Maresca appears to now know his best XI while the likes of Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto and Joao Felix are all providing healthy competition for those ahead of them in the pecking order.
Chelsea sit fifth in the division with 10 points from a possible 15, but they’ll need to improve their home record if they’re to compete for Champions League qualification.
The Blues lost to champions Manchester City and endured a frustrating 1-1 with Crystal Palace at the beginning of the month.
But beating visitors Brighton is no easy assignment, especially given the Seagulls have only lost one of their last four Premier League away games against Chelsea (W1 D2).
Fabian Hurzeler’s side are one of four sides still unbeaten in the Premier League this season coming into this weekend’s games, though their last three have all been drawn.

Chelsea vs Brighton preview betting tips and predictionsForm playerNicolas Jackson should continue his excellent form this weekend.
The 23-year-old has been directly involved in 13 goals in his last 13 Premier League games for Chelsea with nine goals and four assists — that’s more than he managed in his first 27 appearances.
Only Erling Haaland and Matheus Cunha can better Jackson’s 13 attempts on goal this season, while only the Manchester City superstar boasts a higher xG.

On targetBrighton aren’t exactly afraid of a shot or two. In fact, only Manchester City, Tottenham and Bournemouth have registered more efforts on goal this season.
The Seagulls are averaging a shot every six minutes, and are averaging just below five efforts on target in each match.
That’s not ideal news for hosts Chelsea, who’ve conceded 26 shots on target in five matches – the same number as promoted Leicester.
