Chelsea, inspired by the arrival of manager Xabi Alonso, is set to host Brighton & Hove Albion at Stamford Bridge this Sunday. The home team has historically struggled against the Seagulls, with Brighton securing victories in their last three encounters.
However, Chelsea's recent 3-2 win against Fulham, featuring goals from Cole Palmer, João Pedro, and Morgan Rogers, signals a potential shift in momentum. This exciting attacking trio offers renewed hope for the Blues.
Brighton arrives with considerable confidence following a commanding win over Aston Villa and a successful playoff for the Conference League. The visitors are preparing for their second taste of European soccer.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 9 a.m. ET / 6 a.m. PT on Sunday, August 39. Fans in the United Kingdom can watch on Sky Sports, Sky GO, and NOW TV. Coverage in Canada is available via DAZN and FuboTV, while U.S. viewers can tune into NBC Sports or FuboTV. Mexico offers broadcasts on HBO Max and TNT Sports.
Looking ahead, Brighton will commence their Conference League journey in October, with tough domestic fixtures against Leeds United, Coventry City, and Arsenal before the international break. Chelsea, not competing in Europe this season, will focus on domestic competitions, including the Carabao Cup, and their next Premier League fixture against Hull City.
