Brighton & Hove Albion vs Chelsea prediction

Four straight Premier League defeats without finding the net once tells you everything about Chelsea's current state. They're not just losing — they're incapable of threatening goal, and Brighton know it. The Seagulls have beaten Chelsea three times running, including that emphatic 3-1 win at Stamford Bridge earlier this season. They've found the formula to beat this Chelsea side and they're back at home where they're comfortable. Chelsea are missing key players including captain Reece James and the just-injured Estevao, while Joao Pedro remains doubtful. Brighton get Lewis Dunk back from suspension to shore up their defence. The market still sees Chelsea as having a decent chance here, but I think they're being too generous. A team that can't score goals away from home against a side that's worked them out recently? Brighton look the value play. I'd be backing the home side or the draw — Chelsea's crisis runs deeper than one match can fix.
