How the teams line up
Confirmed line-ups arrive about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Brighton & Hove Albion
A strong, well-drilled team. Brighton tend to win games in front of their own fans at American Express Stadium by controlling midfield rather than overwhelming opponents.
Away
Chelsea
One of the league's best sides. Chelsea should have most of the ball on the road at American Express Stadium, so the question is whether Brighton can stay compact for 90 minutes.
Match preview
Chelsea visit American Express Stadium to face Brighton & Hove Albion in the 2026/27 Premier League. We project 1.51 expected goals for Brighton against 1.34 for Chelsea, and that gap drives our 41% rating for Brighton. Team news lands about an hour before kick-off, and a key absence can move this more than anything else, so check the line-ups before you bet.
