Brighton: Chelsea will visit the Amex Stadium on Tuesday night with hopes of breaking their four-match goalless losing streak in the Premier League, facing a Brighton side eager to secure a European qualification spot.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Brighton enters the match with momentum, having collected 13 points from their last six league fixtures, positioning themselves closely behind Chelsea in the league standings. With only a single point separating the two teams, the outcome of this encounter could significantly influence the race for sixth place and potential European competition.

In terms of team news, Brighton's squad sees a positive update as Kaoru Mitoma, who suffered from cramp in their recent draw with Tottenham, is expected to be available. However, Diego G³mez will miss out due to an injury sustained in the same match. The return of captain Lewis Dunk from suspension will bolster Brighton's defense, while Georginio Rutter is likely to feature in the attacking midfield.

Chelsea's injury list remains a concern, with Estªvo ruled out for the rest of the season following a hamstring injury. The team, however, is optimistic about Enzo Fern¡ndez, who is expected to play after dealing with cramp. Joo Pedro's participation is uncertain as he recovers from a thigh injury, and key players like Reece James, Levi Colwill, Filip J¶rgensen, and Jamie Gittens remain sidelined.

Predicted lineups suggest Brighton will utilize a 4-2-3-1 formation with key players such as Verbruggen, Dunk, and Welbeck, while Chelsea is expected to field a similar formation featuring S¡nchez, Fofana, and potentially Pedro if fit.

Brighton's recent form, including victories over Burnley and Sunderland, marks a stark contrast to Chelsea's struggles, whose last league victory dates back to a win against Port Vale in the FA Cup. Brighton's ability to capitalize on Chelsea's vulnerabilities could see them ascend above the Blues into sixth place if they secure a win.

Statistically, Brighton has been effective against Chelsea in recent meetings, winning the last three encounters. Their strong run and home advantage may provide the edge needed to overcome a Chelsea side in desperate need of rediscovering their scoring touch.
