Chelsea vs Brighton preview: Prediction, date, venue, and how to watch Premier League match on DAZN in Canada

Chelsea host Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, with the London side no longer undefeated.

That's because the Blues fell 2-1 at Manchester United last weekend thanks to arguably their worst performance of the season so far. It kicked off with Robert Sanchez's early red card and went downhill from there, as Chelsea could not recover from the poor start despite Man United also going down a player before halftime.

Sanchez's dismissal last weekend means Filip Jörgensen will likely step into the starting role. The 23-year-old allowed both goals in last week's defeat, but Enzo Maresca will be keen to see what the backup goalkeeper can do with a full lineup in front of him.

As for Brighton, they pounced early on Tottenham last week but could not hold on to their two-goal lead, allowing the North London side to fight back and earn a draw. Now, the Seagulls face another London side, this time on the road.

Chelsea vs Brighton: What the managers aare saying

On Robert Sanchez's suspension for the match: "The last part of last season and the beginning of this season he was fantastic. He made a mistake against Manchester United and recognised that. I have said many times, when a keeper makes a mistake or when a midfielder makes a mistake, it is exactly the same. We are happy with Robert, we are happy with Filip [Jorgensen]. There is not any problem with Robert."

Fabian Hurzeler, Brighton

(via Brighton)

"The Premier League is so competitive and it's about small margins and they have had the small margins on their side. Therefore, they had the results. We don't have them. But it can change quickly in football. The only thing is you have to believe in yourself. You need to trust each other. You need to stay positive, focusing on the things that you can influence."

Chelsea vs Brighton prediction

The need for a bounce-back match is high for the Blues, who seem well equipped to handle such a task. Brighton will not go down easily, though.

Prediction: Chelsea 3-2 Brighton
