Brighton & Hove Albion and Chelsea will block horns for the second time in six days on Friday evening when the couple meets in the Premier League.
The seagulls won in the FA Cup Cup last weekend in the fourth round of the past weekend, and Kaoru scored the winner goal to achieve more misery on the blues. The Enzo Maresca team has now won only three of their last ten games in all competitions, none of which have come away from the comfort of the Stamford Bridge.
Despite her recent frustrations, Chelsea went fourth in the Premier League table when they defeated West Ham United in their last league game. The victory on the south coast will guarantee that you will stay there for another week.
Brighton hopes to adopt the home quantity on Valentine’s Day in order to recover from consecutive defeats of the Premier League – including the 7-0 demonstration in Nottingham Forest. If you secure all three points on Friday, you would move to eighth place before the weekend games.
Here is 90 minutes Guide to the collision.

Brighton sweats from the fitness of Lewis Dunk Integral integral to the AMEX stadium before returning from Chelsea, with the defender in the FA Cup duel suffered a rib injury last weekend. He is a doubt on Friday.
However, Mats Wieffer was able to return to the blues from an injury after he had been missing a thigh injury since Christmas.
The quintet by Jason Steele, Pervis Estupinan, Ferdi Kadioglu, Igor and James Milner is expected to be missed.
Brighton predicted line-up against Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Bugge; Veltman, van Hecke, Webster, Lamptey; Baleba, Ayari; Minth, remotter, witha; Pedro.
Chelsea was raised with Nicolas Jackson a significant injury, which is expected to be absent with a thigh injury until after the international break in March. The striker Marc Guiu is also missing for the foreseeable future after suffering the same problem as Senegal international.
The blues are already without mykhailo Mudryk in their forward line, after not passing a drug test and was then suspended, while Romeo Lavia, Benoit Badiail and Wesley Fofana are not present in the defensive half of the field.
Robert Sanchez, Marc Cucurella and Moises Caicedo returned to the Amex Stadium last Saturday, and the latter two were to start again this Friday. However, Filip Jorgensen could return between the sticks.
Chelsea predicted line-up against Brighton (4-2-3-1): Jorgensen; James, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Neto, Palmer, Sancho; Nkunku.
Chelsea was overwhelmed in her collision with Brighton last weekend and looked alarmingly on the south coast. Since Jackson and Guiu were in the treatment room in the coming weeks, it is unlikely that it will be drastically improved for Maresca’s men.
Brighton was inconsistent under Fabian Hurzeler, but has shown its quality against Chelsea last time and will be interested in building on an urgently needed boost. They have the attacking quality to punish a leaky blues backline, and could secure exactly the same goal line that made it progress in the fifth FA Cup round.
