Graham Potter has carried the legacy ahead which was left behind by Chris Hughton. Brighton has surprisingly enjoyed top-flight football for the past five seasons. The Seagulls have their brand of football which is certainly attracting the interest of their rivals. Graham Potter’s style and tactics have put him in contention for the vacant Everton’s managerial post. Brighton has made an impact by outperforming the best sides of top-flight football and Chelsea is one of them. Welbeck’s late equaliser at Stamford Bridge ensured that Brighton’s bravery didn’t go unrewarded. Their ability to convert draws into victories has proved to be a burden that has restricted them from setting their foot in the top 6 spots.
Chelsea from being the prime contender of Premier League champions has been reduced to induce in a fight for their survival in the top four. Tuchel believes that Chelsea’s injury crisis and COVID situation became a defective cog in their high working machinery. Their potential of attaining points on their turf often goes under the radar. Brighton was another example of Chelsea’s continuous struggle. The wound afflicted by Brighton is still fresh. Their visit to Brighton will be crucial in gaining momentum for the upcoming London derby against Tottenham. With the return of Kante and the end of the dispute created by Lukaku’s comment, Chelsea has a strong squad to breach Brighton’s resolute defence.
