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.

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.
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.
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.
CHELSEA and Brighton clash at Stamford Bridge on Saturday in the Premier League.

DANNY MULLINS was turning heads at Listowel races – but not for anything he was doing in the saddle.
The top jumps rider and Tote ambassador instead got a load of stick for his new haircut, described as ‘wrong on so many levels’.
Mullins is known for floppy black curls but had scrapped that look entirely for a style more like rapper Coolio in his song Gangsta’s Paradise.

A photo of his new do was viewed well over a million times online.
Sadly, predictably, not everyone was a fan.
In a recent interview Mullins said people would tell him all the time his hair was ‘awful’.
That was back when it looked a great deal better than this.
One punter dubbed Mullins ‘A$AP Jockey’ while another said: “Give him a month’s ban for that. Oh my.”
Others thought he looked like Nineties Peter Andre while some were certain he must have lost a bet to look the way he did.
Sadly Mullins’ new do didn’t prove a lucky charm on the track.
He came a brave third in the Kerry National on 28-1 Lucid Dreams – but finished a mile back of runaway winner Flooring Porter.

ERIK TEN HAG’S Manchester United have won just one of their last nine matches in Europe.
The Dutchman may have won two domestic cups since arriving at Old Trafford.
However, last season’s eighth-placed finish was the club’s worst in the Premier League era.
And he has struggled to make his mark on the continent, too.
On Wednesday, Ten Hag saw his Red Devils take the lead against former club FC Twente.
But goalscorer Christian Eriksen had his pocket picked before the Eredivisie outfit grabbed an equaliser.
From his 19 matches across the Champions League and Europa League since 2022-23, the Ten Hag has now collected nine wins, four draws and six defeats.
Of those nine wins, five came in the Europa League group stage in his first season – two against Sheriff Tiraspol and Omonia apiece with another three points against Real Sociedad.
United did beat Barcelona at home in the knockout play-off round then saw off Real Betis home and away but then fell to Sevilla.
In last season’s chaotic Champions League campaign, Ten Hag’s side managed one win against Copenhagen, a draw at Galatasaray and four defeats in Group A which also featured Bayern Munich.
FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS
United finished bottom of the group to be knocked out of Europe.
This term, they began with that disappointing draw against Twente – to extend the miserable recent run ahead of facing Porto, Fenerbahce, PAOK, Bodo/Glimt, Viktoria Plzen, Rangers and Steaua Bucuresti in the new Europa League format.
Ten Hag fumed: “We kept them alive when 1-0 up controlling the game and then you have to be consistent and keep going in the second half, we dropped the level and gave a goal away.
“We didn’t finish it off, we had to go for the second goal and they stayed alive and we got punished with a mistake from ourselves.
“It was the game of their life, they fought for every yard and we didn’t – 99 per cent is not enough, you have to give 100 per cent, you have to kill the game, finish it off, we are leading 1-0, but you have to go for the second goal, then you kill the game.
“Especially as we are very ambitious and when you have ambition you have to perform, prove the point and especially today in the second half we were too complacent, we didn’t bring it over the line and, as a team, you have to bring this.
“Today I have some criticism. It is not only the team that has to look in the mirror, I am part of it.”
Wednesday’s result bumped Ten Hag’s Manchester United win rate in European football below 50 per cent to 47 per cent.
But that record is not the worst of recent United bosses.
Since Sir Alex Ferguson, seven managers have led United in Europe.
ERIK TEN HAG appears to be safe as Man Utd manager, but the Dutchman edged dangerously close to the sack.
Here are nine managers Red Devils chiefs are reported to have considered for the job and what allegedly happened with each.
Gareth Southgate
Enjoys plenty of support among Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos chiefs but made clear he wouldn’t talk to any clubs until after Euro 2024. There is yet to be any suggestion that contact was made with the England boss.
Kieran McKenna
Talks were opened with McKenna’s representatives before the FA Cup final, but the former Man Utd coach opted to sign a new deal with Ipswich after Ten Hag’s Wembley win.
Roberto De Zerbi
Allegedly sounded out before the FA Cup final with salary expectations discussed. But Ineos chiefs concluded ex-Brighton boss was not the right fit for the project.
Thomas Frank
Brentford boss met Man Utd representatives the day before the FA Cup final. The Dane also dined with Ratcliffe, Roy Hodgson and Frank Lampard at the launch of a new Ineos car in February.
Marco Silva
Fulham boss reportedly met Man Utd representatives face-to-face two days before the FA Cup final, around the same time as Ten Hag was conducting his press conference.
Mauricio Pochettino
Fell out of Man Utd’s thinking in the first week of June, despite being a favourite of Sir Alex Ferguson.
Thomas Tuchel
Made a very strong impression and came across well during a Monaco meeting. Personal terms were discussed before the ex-Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss decided to step back from the process.
Ruben Amorim
Sporting boss was discussed by the Man Utd hierarchy but did not make the final reckoning.
Roberto Martinez
Portugal manager was considered in the early stages.
The two interim bosses top and tail the list with Ralf Rangnick’s win rate zero per cent with two draws and a defeat while Michael Carrick secured victory in his one match.
That was a 2-0 win at Villarreal in the Champions League with goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho.
Ten Hag is only ahead of Louis van Gaal of the permanent bosses with the fellow Dutchman picking up three wins from his ten matches.
David Moyes managed victory in five of his ten games to return a 50 per cent win rate.
That is marginally behind Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on 54 per cent.
The Norwegian took charge of 35 European matches for United – more than anyone since Ferguson – and won 19, drew six and lost ten.
But of the permanent bosses, Jose Mourinho leads the way.
He secured 18 victories, five draws and six defeats from 29 games to rack up an impressive 62 per cent win rate.
The Special One even lifted the Europa League trophy in 2017, beating Ajax in Stockholm to secure United’s sixth European trophy in their history.
