Chelsea have never lost in 13 league meetings with Brighton (W10 D3) - it is the most the Blues have faced an opponent without ever losing in their league history.
Brighton have had more shots than Chelsea in each of the last three Premier League meetings between the sides. Since we have detailed shot data (2003-04), Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United are the only teams to have outshot Chelsea in 4+ consecutive meetings in the competition.
Chelsea have lost their last two away league games played on Tuesdays, against Wolves and Leicester City last season. The Blues had only lost two of their last 21 such games before this (W11 D8).
Chelsea are winless in their last three Premier League games (D2 L1), their longest such run under Thomas Tuchel. The Blues lost 1-0 at Man City last time out, but haven’t gone consecutive away league games without a goal since May/August 2019.
Brighton have scored seven goals in the final 10 minutes of games in the Premier League this season - in no other campaign have they netted more in this timeframe. These goals have been worth seven points to the Seagulls, and on all seven occasions it’s been their only goal of the game.
Romelu Lukaku had the fewest touches of any player on the pitch in the first-half (8).
It’s happened for the second game in a row.
Hakim Ziyech has scored just his second Premier League goal of the season.

Four of the five have come against ‘big-six’ clubs.

Unbelievable.
Since going on an 11-game winless run earlier in the season, Brighton are now unbeaten in five Premier League games.
And they’re now in ninth place in the table.
