CHELSEA and Brighton go head-to-head in Saturday’s Premier League showdown at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea vs Brighton preview

We might be heading into winter but the skies are looking much brighter above Stamford Bridge.

The Blues appear to have turned the corner having won their last three matches in all competitions – scoring nine goals and conceding none!

Only Manchester City have scored more goals in the Premier League this season, while their xGC (expected goals conceded) is the eighth best in the division (5.90).

Enzo Maresca appears to now know his best XI while the likes of Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto and Joao Felix are all providing healthy competition for those ahead of them in the pecking order.

Chelsea sit fifth in the division with 10 points from a possible 15, but they’ll need to improve their home record if they’re to compete for Champions League qualification.

The Blues lost to champions Manchester City and endured a frustrating 1-1 with Crystal Palace at the beginning of the month.

But beating visitors Brighton is no easy assignment, especially given the Seagulls have only lost one of their last four Premier League away games against Chelsea (W1 D2).

Fabian Hurzeler’s side are one of four sides still unbeaten in the Premier League this season coming into this weekend’s games, though their last three have all been drawn.

Chelsea vs Brighton preview betting tips and predictions

Form player

Nicolas Jackson should continue his excellent form this weekend.

The 23-year-old has been directly involved in 13 goals in his last 13 Premier League games for Chelsea with nine goals and four assists — that’s more than he managed in his first 27 appearances.

Only Erling Haaland and Matheus Cunha can better Jackson’s 13 attempts on goal this season, while only the Manchester City superstar boasts a higher xG.

On target

Brighton aren’t exactly afraid of a shot or two. In fact, only Manchester City, Tottenham and Bournemouth have registered more efforts on goal this season.

The Seagulls are averaging a shot every six minutes, and are averaging just below five efforts on target in each match.

That’s not ideal news for hosts Chelsea, who’ve conceded 26 shots on target in five matches – the same number as promoted Leicester.

FASHION fans are racing to Zara for Olivia Attwood’s “fabulous” leopard print dress. 

The Loose Women star wore the midi-length frock on the talk show two weeks ago, but has only just revealed where it’s from.

ZARA

The Draped Waist Midi Dress – which 33-year-old Liv paired with a belt – only has a few items left, according to the Zara website. 

The £35.99 sleeveless gown is made of a linen blend. 

It features a round neck and a V-neckline at the back, as well as a back slit at the hem and invisible back zip fastening.

Olivia shared a series of pictures posing in the dress.

She penned in the caption: “A recent Loose Women look.”

Fans were quick to flood the comment section with compliments and vows to nab the dress from Zara themselves. 

But since then, stock has dwindled on the website. 

Fortunately, if your size has sold out, you have options. 

There are a number of dupes of the dress across the internet – including on Shein and ASOS.

Perhaps the closest copy of the Zara gown is the Miss Selfridge slash neck scoop back maxi dress in animal print.

This is currently slashed by 24% to £27 on ASOS.

Another dupe is available from SHEIN Privé.

This version has a side slit rather than a hem slit at the back, but it only costs £9.49. 

Olivia wore the dress while interviewing Made In Chelsea’s Louise Thompson and Ryan Libbey’s life-changing birth trauma. 

She paired it with knee-high stiletto black boots from Yves Saint Laurent and a gold-buckle belt from Chanel. 

Back in April, Olivia told Fabulous that she’s recently stopped dressing for men and cares more about what other women think of her.

“Around and before my Love Island era, I was a Monster girl working for the energy drinks brand, and working in the grid girl scene, so I used to dress a lot more for boys,” she told.

“I was younger and it was all about being as naked as possible, and it was bright colours. 

“But now I dress for girls and seek compliments from girls, not from men.”

Here, Fabulous’ fashion editor, Clemmie Fieldsend, says these are the top 5 trends from the hottest catwalk designers for autumn 2024. 

BOHO: The boho revival is a much needed breath of fresh air for autumn and means you can wear your sheer tops, girly frocks and big jeans with heavy duty boots.
But if the clothes aren’t for you think, big accessories like slouchy tote bags, big earrings and bigger bangles. 

TEXTURE: Be it smooth leather, sumptuous faux fur or soft suede, textures are everywhere this season.
They add depth to your look, making you stand out as well as look more expensive. 

BURGUNDY: Maroon, oxblood, berry- whatever you choose to call it fashion is seeing red this autumn. 

The deep and rich colour is everywhere and works best with greys, black, dark blues and in head-to-toe 

LADY LIKE: Matching top and cardigan sets and pencil skirts sound dated but they go hand-in-hand with lady-like. 

Mix with satin cami dresses and 

LEOPARD PRINT: This season 75% of the catwalk was leopard print, according to Tagwalk – a huge majority.
It crawled its way in last season but its rife for autumn and all over the high street, be it shoes or floor sweeping coats, it’s a must have trend.
