The form

Chelsea were last in action on Wednesday night when we sealed a spot in the Continental League Cup by thumping West Ham 6-0. Pernille Harder got the first goal within minutes and by half-time the Blues had notched four. Sophie Ingle doubled our advantage, our Danish forward recorded her second of the night and England poked home on 27 minutes. Two more goals followed after the break with Fran Kirby netting and Harder registering her first ever Chelsea hat-trick with minutes left to play.

In the league, Chelsea are now 33 games unbeaten, with our last outing a 4-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur last weekend. German midfielder Melanie Leupolz scored a brace, while Harder and Sam Kerr got one goal apiece.

Opponents Brighton are in ninth place in the league having lost eight, drawn three and won two. They have hit a difficult spell in form with their fifth defeat in six games coming last Saturday against bottom-of-the-table Bristol City. The match finished in a 3-0 defeat and Albion went down to 10 players after Kayleigh Green was issued a red card midway through the second half.

Chelsea v Brighton recent head-to-head record

We have already met Hope Powell’s Brighton this term having travelled to their patch back in December. The encounter ended in a 1-0 win thanks to a powerful first-half header from Kerr.

Last year we only managed to play Albion the once due to the curtailment of the WSL because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Blues took a share of the points thanks to late goal scored by Adelina Engman. Prior to that, the last time we crossed paths was in December 2018 when we came away as 4-0 victors. The home fixture of the 2018/19 season resulted in a 2-0 win.

Next up for the Blues

Chelsea’s next test after Brighton will be a London derby at home versus Arsenal. The match takes place on Wednesday 10 February and has a 7pm kick-off.
