Sign up for the Football newsletter Thank you! Brighton actually go into the Premier League weekend top of the table, courtesy of their 4-0 thumping win over Aston Villa. The only disappointment from that game for the Seagulls is that it was only four, having battered Unai Emery’s side and raced into a 4-0 lead before the break. And they backed it up in midweek when thumping Tromso by the same scoreline to reach the Conference League league phase too. The constant signing and selling on of players always seemed like it would catch up with Brighton one day but once again they’ve built a strong squad and look capable of competing on both fronts. They head to a Chelsea side who won the west London derby at the start of the week before progressing in the Carabao Cup on Thursday. Xabi Alonso’s side had to be patient to beat Luton but got the breakthrough via a Danny Welbeck header – as he became the latest Chelsea player to join from the south coast side. He’s looking to compete with former Brighton man Joao Pedro for that number nine spot, while Enzo Fernandez’s absence showed he’s on the way out. While in goals, the incoming Emi Martinez strengthens the goalkeeping spot after Robert Sanchez’s questionable Craven Cottage showing.

Chelsea vs Brighton predictions and tips Tip 1: Jack Hinshelwood to score or assist at 15/8 with Sky Bet The double chance of Brighton/Draw at 10/11 looks appealing despite being odds-on. As does the 5/6 on BTTS and over 2.5 goals as both teams have electric attacks but can be got at. But looking for a touch more value, Jack Hinshelwood continues to go under the radar for Brighton as an important part of how they play. He missed midweek with a ‘small issue’ so assuming he’s back fit and involved here, he looks a good bet to be involved having scored twice last week.
