Chelsea will aim to extend their winning streak to four games in all competitions when they host Brighton & Hove Albion at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. The Blues have been in fine form, winning their last three matches by a combined score of 9-0, including a 3-0 Premier League triumph over West Ham and a 5-0 rout of Barrow in the EFL Cup. Under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, Chelsea have risen to fifth place in the Premier League, just three points behind Manchester City. However, they are still seeking their first home league win of the season, despite success in all their away fixtures. Brighton, meanwhile, remain unbeaten in the Premier League but were held to a 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest last weekend in a game marred by managerial dismissals. With manager Fabian Hurzeler suspended, assistant Andrew Crofts will take charge as Brighton look to bounce back and end Chelsea's recent dominance in this fixture.

Chelsea are expected to revert to a more familiar lineup after rotating heavily for the midweek cup tie, with key players like Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, and Cole Palmer returning. Brighton, on the other hand, will be without Joao Pedro and several other injured players but will rely on Danny Welbeck and Kaoru Mitoma to lead their attacking efforts. Given the attacking flair of both sides, another high-scoring encounter is anticipated, but Chelsea's recent form may give them the edge in a closely contested 2-1 victory over Brighton.

本周六切尔西将在斯坦福桥主场迎战布莱顿和霍夫，他们的目标是将各项赛事的连胜纪录扩大到四场。蓝军状态很好，最近三场比赛总比分为9-0，包括英超3-0战胜西汉姆联和联赛杯5-0大胜巴罗。在恩佐·马雷斯卡的带领下，切尔西已经上升到英超第5位，仅落后曼城3分。然而，尽管他们在所有的客场比赛中取得了成功，他们仍然在寻求本赛季的第一场主场胜利。与此同时，布莱顿在英超联赛中保持不败，但在上周末与诺丁汉森林的比赛中被2-2逼平，这场比赛受到了管理层解雇的影响。主教练赫尔泽勒停赛后，助理教练安德鲁·克罗夫茨将带领布莱顿反弹，结束切尔西最近在这场比赛中的统治地位。

在周中杯赛的轮换之后，切尔西有望恢复到一个更熟悉的阵容，像恩佐·费尔南德斯，莫伊塞斯·卡伊多和科尔·帕尔默这样的关键球员将回归。另一方面，布莱顿将失去佩德罗和其他几名受伤的球员，但将依靠维尔贝克和三oma来领导他们的进攻。考虑到双方的进攻能力，预计会有另一场进球大战，但切尔西最近的状态可能会让他们在2-1战胜布莱顿的比赛中占据优势。
