At the heart of what has become a public nightmare, Chelsea will travel to the Amex on Tuesday night when they meet Brighton.
Brighton
Starting with the hosts, snatching a dramatic last-gasp equaliser away at Tottenham on Saturday evening, Brighton should find the mood in their camp at a real high. Despite eventually settling for an action-packed 2-2 stalemate in north London, Fabian Hurzeler’s side have reignited their European dreams on either side of March’s international break. Heading into the fortnight interval with a 2-1 victory at home against soon-to-be former Premier League champions Liverpool, the Seagulls have registered 10 points from their previous four top-flight appearances. Likewise, suffering just a single Premier League defeat since back on February 11th, Brighton will be smelling the chance to make another heavyweight statement here. It should also be highlighted, Hurzeler’s men secured a thumping 3-0 victory when they last welcomed Chelsea to the Amex back in February 2025.
Brighton Team News
Limping off after just 20 minutes away at Tottenham on Saturday after being hit with what looks like a season-ending knee injury, Paraguayan international Diego Gomez will not play any part here. Likewise, the duo of Adam Webster and Greek youngster Stefanos Tzimas are recovering from their own respective knee issues.
Missing out in north London after serving a one-match suspension, skipper Lewis Dunk should be handed a full recall. Coming off the bench and bagging a sensational last-gasp equaliser against Spurs, former Leeds star Georginio Rutter could be handed a chance to lead the line.
Chelsea
As for the visitors, while Chelsea might have enjoyed an immediate boost following Liam Rosenior’s shock arrival at Stamford Bridge back in January, the Blues have come crashing back down to earth in a public fashion. Last seen over the weekend getting hit with a 1-0 defeat at home against historic rivals Manchester United, the pressure on Rosenior’s shoulders has now reached a boiling point. Coming under a huge amount of recent scrutiny, Chelsea have lost each of their previous four consecutive Premier League appearances. Heading into March’s international break with a woeful 3-0 drumming away at Everton, it’s also worth highlighting that Tuesday’s guests have lost six of their last seven showdowns across all competitions. Hit with that 3-0 loss when they travelled to the Amex last season, Rosenior’s struggling squad look set for another tricky test on the south coast.

Limping off after just 16 minutes against Manchester United on Saturday night with a suspected hamstring injury, Brazilian youngster Estevao is not expected to feature here. Likewise, missing out at Stamford Bridge with his own muscle issue, Chelsea are sweating over the fitness of former Brighton striker Joao Pedro.
Despite failing to register a direct goal contribution in his previous nine consecutive appearances for club and country, England international Cole Palmer will play a leading role in the final third. Making a public return in west London following his two-match internal suspension, Enzo Fernandez will keep his spot in the middle of the park.
Brighton vs Chelsea Key Factors to Consider
- When Brighton welcomed Chelsea to the Amex for a Premier League showdown last season, Tuesday’s hosts stormed their way to a thumping 3-0 victory.
- The Seagulls have registered 10 points from their previous four Premier League appearances.
- Chelsea have now lost all of their last four consecutive Premier League outings.
- Likewise, Rosenior’s struggling squad have also lost six of their last seven appearances across all competitions.
- Each of the last six meetings between Brighton and Chelsea have finished with over 2.5 goals.
Conclusion
Hit with a 1-0 loss at home against historic foes Manchester United on Saturday night, Chelsea find themselves at the heart of a public nightmare. Along with losing each of their previous four consecutive Premier League appearances, Rosenior’s downbeat squad have also lost six of their last seven outings across all fronts. Meeting a Brighton side who have reignited their European charge on either side of March’s international break, the Seagulls also secured a thumping 3-0 victory when they welcomed Chelsea to the south coast last season.
