And the remaining matches this month, Chelsea will face Brighton in the Carabao Cup. This gave Chelsea one last chance to score in September and claim victory. But look at Brighton, who this season managed to beat Newcastle and Man United in the EPL. Seeing this performance, I think Brighton deserves to be the favorite to win at Stamford Bridge later.

Brighton is no pushover and their performance in the ongoing season of the EPL is confirming that. They seem ready for a win over Chelsea and are favorites to do so but it may turn out to be a difficult game for both sides as Chelsea could surprise everyone and come out with a win. Yes, it’s pretty obvious Chelsea, with their current form wouldn’t pose that much of a threat to Brighton that has had a pretty good performance and also are in pretty good form.
I’m rooting for the underdogs to win in this game. They desperately need a win. While I don’t think much of playing at home to be a real advantage, I hope the cheers from home fans would be of some help.

The performances of these two teams are very inversely proportional, Chelsea, who was predicted to be strong again this season, is actually still confused and is now increasingly marginalized at the bottom of the EPL standings. While Brighton has always been a surprise in the last few seasons, they have always been a scourge for England's elite teams and have kept them in good positions in the standings.

Chelsea is very ambitious in looking for opportunities to win trophies in the FA or League Cup competitions, maybe Pochettino will try to raise the enthusiasm of his troops to rise in other paths besides the EPL. But Brighton also won't let Chelsea party, they will fight as hard as possible to win tickets to the next round. Morally, Brighton is superior.
