Chelsea v Brighton Hove

Chelsea look like a strong home-win pick against Brighton. Under Xabi Alonso, Chelsea are aiming for greater stability and consistency, with a more experienced squad built to compete at the top end of the Premier League. They also have significant attacking quality, with João Pedro, Morgan Rogers and other dangerous options capable of causing Brighton problems. The market currently makes Chelsea favourites, and with home advantage plus the quality difference in the squad, Chelsea to win is an attractive pick, with a 2–1 or 2–0 victory looking realistic.
