Less than a week after knocking Chelsea out of the FA Cup, Brighton is hosting the Blues again on Friday night, looking to pull off a quick double at the Amex.
With league points at stake, the Seagulls need to bounce back after their 7-0 loss at Nottingham Forest. They haven’t won a home league game in five tries, but they’ve shown they can step up, staying unbeaten at home against top-four teams this season.
Chelsea comes in fourth but is struggling away from home, winless in all competitions since mid-December. Their form has dipped since Boxing Day, with just two wins in their last seven league games. Still, before last weekend’s FA Cup exit, they had won four straight against Brighton, including a 4-2 win in the earlier match.
Brighton: @21/10 (3.10) – 32.3%
Draw: @11/4 (3.75) – 26.7%
Chelsea: @14/11 (2.27) – 44%
