  • Brighton manager suspended. Chelsea will score since Brighton play offside trap. Brighton will try as many as can from free kick/corner to score.

  • @xxl92 Brighton will score too, Chelsea have 2 straight clean sheets but defense isn’t good. Opposition gets lots of chances. Both teams to score ��

  • @xxl92 not suspended

  • Jackson to score anytime (If he starts the game)

  • Brighton double chance
