Brighton vs. Chelsea: Prediction, date, venue, and how to watch Premier League match
Matchday 34 of the 2025-26 Premier League season kicks off Tuesday with Chelsea traveling to face Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Blues are among the three Premier League teams still alive in the FA Cup semi-finals this weekend, forcing this match to be played several days in advance. However, Chelsea may not want to return to the pitch so quickly after dropping a 1-0 result at home to Manchester United on Saturday, which was their fourth consecutive league loss.
The London club's rough patch of form leaves them in sixth place and out of next season's Champions League unless they can finish the current campaign strong and erase a seven-point gap between themselves and fifth-place Liverpool.
Meanwhile, Brighton's fortunes have been much brighter of late, with the club on a four-match unbeaten run. The Seagulls enter this match in ninth place, but they are just a single point back of Chelsea and would leapfrog their visitors with a victory on Tuesday.

Brighton vs. Chelsea: What the managers are saying
Fabian Hurzeler, Brighton
(via Brighton)
"They have the quality to beat every team in the league. They are not on the best run but, like you mentioned, they play good football and they had a good performance. That's why it's very important for us to keep doing the basic things right, to keep doing our things on the highest level and to the highest standards – I think this will be the main bit against Chelsea. We have to play intensely again, you have to play with a lot of power and energy if you want to compete with them. On top of that, we need to stick to our style of play, to our principles. We also have a big belief that we can beat them, although we know that they have a lot of individual quality and showed good performances recently."
Liam Rosenior, Chelsea
(via BBC)
"Fabian [Hurzeler] is doing a fantastic job. It's a club built for consistency. They're going to be a difficult team to play against. We have to make sure that we keep the back door shut and give ourselves a chance by scoring the first goal in a game."
Brighton vs. Chelsea prediction
The quick turnaround from the weekend's matches should favour Chelsea, who have the deeper squad.
However, the Seagulls have been the better of the two teams in recent weeks, which could lead to a contest between a pair of sides who each believe they should win.
That might lend itself to a more open match, with goals from both teams.
Prediction: Brighton 2-2 Chelsea
