Michael Owen states his prediction for Chelsea v Brighton

Chelsea are set to face their next Premier League rivals, Brighton, on Tuesday. The Blues will be looking to celebrate another win in order to improve their position in the Premier League table as they are currently sitting in 5th place on England's top competition list. Meanwhile, the Seagulls are in 16th position, near the relegation zone. Ahead of the clash, Michael Owen has given his prediction. The pundit backed Thomas Tuchel’s side to beat the rivals with a score of 2 – 0.  “Fresh from their fantastic FA Cup win against Manchester City, Chelsea host Brighton at Stamford Bridge. A win will take the Blues into the top four, so with plenty to play for, there is no doubt Thomas Tuchel will see this as a crucial three points," he said. Brighton are pretty much safe. They’ve earned plenty of plaudits this campaign, and if they can get their recruitment right over the summer, the Seagulls could potentially do a lot better next season. With so much on the line, I can’t see Chelsea taking their foot off the gas. So, with the wind in their sails after Saturday’s huge win, I can only see this one going one way. It’s 2-0 to the Blues for me.” Source: Metro UK  Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
