Brighton vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League latest score and goal updates today

Seagulls set for second win over Chelsea in a week

Chelsea are 2-0 down against Brighton tonight and facing another defeat in the Premier League. The Seagulls knocked Enzo Maresca’s side out of the FA Cup fourth round last weekend and the Blues are in danger of extending their winless run on the road to six matches in all competitions, after goals from Kaoru Mitoma and Yankuba Minteh in the first-half.

Things have stalled for Chelsea since around the Christmas period. While Maresca was always keen to stress that his side were not ready for a title challenge, even he will have been concerned about their form of late. There has been a further blow with the news that Nicolas Jackson is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines, with Christopher Nkunku leading the line in his absence. Reece James starts on the bench tonight.

With Manchester City, Newcastle and the rest of the chasing pack not in action until Saturday, this is a chance for Chelsea to solidify their place in the top four. Victory would take them five points clear of their closest challengers. Follow Brighton vs Chelsea with Standard Sport’s LIVE blog below, featuring expert analysis from Malik Ouzia at the ground!
