Brighton have only lost one of their last four Premier League away games against Chelsea (W1 D2), though it was a 3-2 loss in this exact fixture last season.

Chelsea won both Premier League meetings with Brighton last season, despite having a player sent off in each game. It’s one of just two occasions a team has won consecutive meetings with an opponent despite going down to 10 men (also Middlesbrough v Sunderland in 2002), while the Blues have never had a player sent off in three consecutive meetings with an opponent.

Chelsea have won eight of their last 10 Premier League games (D1 L1). Indeed, since the start of May (when this run began) no team has won more Premier League points than the Blues (25).
5
Chelsea have won all three of their Premier League away games this season but remain winless at Stamford Bridge (D1 L1). Only in 2001-02 and 2019-20 have they failed to win any of their first three at home in the competition.
