Brighton vs Chelsea Tips
Tip 1
The 22 year old has scored seven in the league this season, eight across all competitions and has netted twice in his last three after goals away to Man City and at home to Wolves.
He’s let off 12 shots in his last four league outings and is averaging a very prosperous 3.55 shots per 90, which are the kind of eye-catching stats that you look for when backing a goalscorer.
Tip 2
Baleba has five cards in 20 PL appearances this term, seeing a card in his last two matches which came in contests with Man United and Everton.
The Cameroonian midfielder has committed 2+ fouls in 9/20 league fixtures and will be responsible for containing talisman Cole Palmer, who has drawn 48 fouls.
Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella returns to his former employer and there’ll always be some animosity towards a player who engineered a move away from your club.
The former Brighton full back has been booked six times in the league this campaign – one of which was in the 4-2 reverse fixture back in September.
Brighton Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
The Seagulls broke consecutive league defeats with a 2-1 win over Chelsea in the FA Cup last Saturday, thanks to replies from Georginio Rutter and Kaoru Mitoma following a 5th-minute own goal from goalkeeper Bart Vebruggen.
Jason Steele, Pervis Estupinan, Igor, Ferdi Kadioglu, James Milner and Solly March all remain absent through injury for Friday’s hosts.
Brighton Predicted XI: Verbruggen; Veltman, van Hecke, Dunk, Lamptey; Quomah Baleba, Hinshelwood; Minteh, Pedro, Mitoma; Welbeck.
Chelsea Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Enzo Maresca’s side failed to make any sort of impact on last Saturday’s cup tie against this opponent, effectively leaving the Europa Conference League as the only possibility of silverware in the Italian’s debut campaign as head coach at Stamford Bridge.
Defensive pair Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana are still unavailable, as are midfielders Romeo Lavia, Omari Kellyman and Marc Guiu, plus forwards Mykhailo Mudryk and Nicolas Jackson.
Chelsea Predicted XI: Jorgensen; James, Adarabioyo, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Nkunku.
