Match Facts
Having been unbeaten in their first 10 Premier League games against Brighton (W6 D4), Chelsea have now lost five of their last eight against the Seagulls (W3).
Brighton have won their last three Premier League games against Chelsea, netting exactly three goals each time. The last team to score 3+ goals in four consecutive league games against the Blues were West Ham between 1972 and 1974.
Chelsea have only won their first home league game of the season once in the last seven campaigns (D4 L2), beating Crystal Palace 3-0 in 2021-22.
Brighton have won eight of their last 13 Premier League games (25 points - D1 L4), after recording just one win in the prior 13 matches (D6 L6); since the start of that run (21st February), only Arsenal (30), Manchester City (28), and Manchester United (26) have more points in the competition.
Chelsea have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 17 Premier League games, their longest run in the top-flight since August 1991 (also 17), while they last endured a longer run in August 1961 (31 games).
Only Brighton (3.54) recorded a higher open play xG on MD1 of the 2026-26 Premier League campaign than Chelsea (1.96), despite having 38.1% of the possession, their lowest in a league victory since May 2025 against Liverpool (35.3%).
Brighton recorded the most high turnovers (19) and joint-most shot ending high turnovers (5) of any side on MD1; only against Fulham in January 2021 and Chelsea in September 2024 have they recorded more high turnovers in a Premier League game (both 21).
Chelsea’s Danny Welbeck is Brighton’s highest goalscorer in the Premier League, with 46 goals in 176 appearances for the Seagulls. He’s also the highest goalscorer in Chelsea vs Brighton matches in the Premier League with six goals, four of which came at Stamford Bridge.
Only against Wolves (8 – 5 goals, 3 assists) does Cole Palmer have more Premier League goal involvement against a side than Brighton (5 goals, 0 assists); on MD1, he was joint-first for goal involvements (2), second for successful take-ons (5), and joint-second for touches in the opposition’s box (9).
Only Morgan Rogers (5) created more chances on MD1 of this season’s Premier League than Brighton’s Pascal Groß (4) – since returning to the Premier League in 2026 he’s third for chances created (43), joint-fourth for chances created from open play (31), and seventh for expected assists (4.1).
