Chelsea vs Brighton live stream, TV channel, lineups, and betting odds for Premier League clash

Frank Lampard will be demanding a positive reaction from his Chelsea side as they prepare to host Brighton & Hove Albion in Premier League action this weekend.

The Blues are yet to score a goal or pick up a point since Lampard’s return as caretaker manager, with defeats to Wolves and Real Madrid in domestic and Champions League clashes.

Chelsea are set to battle with the Seagulls for a European spot in the season run-in as Lampard looks to steer the club towards a top-six finish after a chaotic campaign at Stamford Bridge. Defeat would leave those aspirations looking forlorn.

Here’s all the key information on the match, including kickoff time, live streaming and TV channels, lineups, and betting odds.

Chelsea vs Brighton prediction, betting odds

Chelsea’s struggles have continued since Graham Potter’s departure with Lampard under real pressure to salvage something from a dreadful season for the club.

However, Brighton are still pushing hard for a European place, with just one defeat in their past six Premier League matches, and De Zerbi will be confident of at least at point away in the capital.

Prediction: 1-1
