The 34th round APL match between Brighton and Chelsea will take place on May 15, as originally scheduled.
Brighton
The team, ranked tenth in the championship, is not necessarily a failure, but the “Seagulls” were unable to perform at the same high level as they did the previous year. Brighton made it to the Europa League 1/8 finals despite being still preoccupied with the unusual European cups for them.
In the previous game, the team played a 1:1 away from home against Newcastle, splitting the points, with both teams having the ability to score and more. The team has suffered numerous personnel losses; nine players will have to miss the next match because of injuries.
Chelsea
“Aristocrats” had a dismal season overall; they competed in the English League Cup final but fell short against Liverpool. Chelsea started to appear more intriguing toward the end of the season. The Londoners even moved up to the seventh line, which allowed them to win the European Cup. Now, they trail sixth-place Newcastle only by goal differential.
In the previous round, Londoners defeated Nottingham Forest 3:2 on the road in a resolute manner. This was the team’s third win in a row, which is indicative of strong form. Due to health issues, six players will be unable to support their partners during this confrontation.
