Last season, the “Blues” delivered highly inconsistent results, finishing only in sixth place in the league standings. This was certainly not what Chelsea’s management envisioned after spending astronomical sums on new signings. As a result, Mauricio Pochettino was shown the door, and Italian Enzo Maresca was appointed as the new head coach.
Chelsea started the season with a home defeat to Manchester City, but in the following matches, they performed well and currently sit in fifth place in the standings. After the loss to City, the “Blues” secured three wins and one draw in their next four matches. This includes a 3-0 victory over West Ham last weekend. Midweek, Chelsea had no trouble defeating Barrow in the League Cup with a 5-0 scoreline.
The “Seagulls” finished in 11th place in last season’s Premier League, although the season before that they secured qualification for European competitions. As a result, the management decided to part ways with Roberto De Zerbi, replacing him with Fabian Hürzeler. Under the new coach, Brighton had a productive summer, with results evident in the opening rounds.
Under Hürzeler, Brighton defeated Everton, Manchester United, and drew with Arsenal. However, after the international break, the “Seagulls” unexpectedly stumbled against newly promoted Ipswich Town. Last weekend, Brighton hosted Nottingham Forest and played out a 2-2 draw.
