The brand new season is about to start and the followers are tingling with optimism. It’s a new beginning as Chelsea host Brighton & Hove Albion for the opening match at Lincoln Financial Field. Read on!

Not a lot of time to rest for the host team, as they were involved in a Florida Cup fixture only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Wrexham, was also a home game here at Lincoln Financial Field. The away team is better rested.

Chelsea form and stats

Disaster struck Chelsea last season as they could not defend their status as a Premier League team. With 16 defeats from 38 games, and only 11 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Chelsea are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W6 D7 L6.

Chelsea are traveling soon after this match as the Premier League Summer Series match at Newcastle United awaits in four days.

Brighton & Hove Albion form and stats
