Brighton and Chelsea are looking for successive victories

Brighton and Hove Albion will welcome the Chelsea squad at the Amex Stadium for the English Premier League and the visitors will try to stay on the 4^th position at the hosting expense this weekend. Brighton breaks their four games winless surge at the weekend with the important 2 – 0 victory against Bournemouth in a south coast battle at the same venue, and the host will look to make ground advantage count for the second time when they host the Blues at the Amex Stadium on the evening of Wednesday. Chelsea loved a good surge for themselves on their last on the road game, coming from behind to get an epic comeback win at London opponents in Sunday televised offering. That remarkable boosted confidence victory was the Blues 2^nd Premier League on the road win, although the entire consistency is still demonstrating evasive for coach Frank Lampard’s side who were turned over in five coming from their last eight top-flight tasks.

Chelsea’s defensive mechanism insufficiency

The Blues recent issues have largely been connected from their incapability to secure clean sheets, and Chelsea secured their rivals of the scoresheet only once from their last eight Premier League games since early November. On this entire term, the Blues have made 28 goals within the Premier League on this term, a number that shuffles Chelsea with the 2^nd poor defensive performance within the division’s top nine. With goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga still showing insufficient between the sticks and shielding in front of the Spanish stopper limited. We will see the Blues to concede again this week versus Brighton squad who possesses a good attacking mechanism at home.
