It's been a rough year for Chelsea. A new owner and several new managers have led to the London side falling short of expectations in England and in Europe, which could ultimately see them miss out on European football completely next season. But given that they haven't won a match since March 11, things are starting to get truly desperate for the Blues. They'll certainly be hoping that 76 Million Dollar Man Mykhailo Mudryk finally finds the back of the net if nothing else, as his start in a Chelsea kit has mirrored Chelsea's struggles this season.
Brighton, by comparison, are having a great year, even after Chelsea stole manager Graham Potter away from the Seagulls. They also lost Leandro Trossard to Arsenal, but that hasn't stopped Brighton from being right in the mix for Champions League football next year. They sit at seventh in the EPL table, with fourth-place Manchester United just 10 points ahead. They also have a game in hand that could effectively make Man Utd's lead over them just seven points — well within reach with the nine games both sides still have yet to play.
So will Chelsea finally get a win under Frank Lampard and get back into the top half of the table? Or will Brighton grab three points and keep their top four hopes alive? Either way, you definitely won’t want to miss this Premier League matchup.
