Chelsea Determined to Recover from Toon Pummelling

After a disappointing loss to Newcastle last weekend, Chelsea is eager to bounce back with a victory against Brighton at Stamford Bridge today. The Blues' second-half collapse allowed Newcastle to score three goals, pushing Chelsea twelve points behind the Champions League spots. Mauricio Pochettino's side will be looking to put that performance behind them and secure a crucial win.

A Show of Strength at Home

Despite their recent setback, Chelsea showcased their strength in their previous home game against Treble-winners Manchester City. The match ended in a thrilling 4-4 draw, demonstrating the team's ability to hold their ground against tough opponents. The Blues will be aiming to replicate that performance and secure three points against Brighton.

Brighton's Unbeaten Streak

Brighton enters the match with an impressive unbeaten streak, having gone undefeated in their last seven fixtures across all competitions. This includes a solid performance against Manchester United, in which they held the Red Devils to a goalless draw. Chelsea will need to be at their best to break Brighton's resilient defense and secure a much-needed victory.
