Chelsea will kick off the New Year with a road clash against Brighton. Live Soccer TV's match preview provides match facts, team news, and global broadcast listings for Brighton vs Chelsea.

Preview: Brighton vs Chelsea

Brighton come into this match off the back of a win. The Seagulls finally ended their winless streak with a victory at the end of 2019 as they beat Bournemouth 2-0. However, they have historically struggled in January, where they have never won a game in this month. In addition, they have a bad track record against Chelsea; in fact, the last time they beat the Blues was in January 1933, when they defeated them 2-1 in a FA Cup tie.

Meanwhile, Chelsea earned a hard-fought 2-1 win over Arsenal in a London Derby clash to wrap up 2019. This helped them remain in fourth spot heading into the current year, and hold off the challenge of Manchester United, who have moved up the table into fifth place. Frank Lampard's young side have had a solid first half of the season and will be facing a tough challenge from both the Red Devils and a Tottenham side under Jose Mourinho for that last Champions League spot, and they will want to kick off 2020 on the right footing by continuing their strong run against struggling Brighton.

Team news: Brighton vs Chelsea

Brighton: The hosts are missing Solly March for this fixture as he continues his recovery from a groin injury. In addition, Jose Izquierdo remains a long-term absentee due to a knee problem.

Chelsea: Christian Pulisic could return to the fold after missing Chelsea's last match due to a hamstring problem. However, both Marcos Alonso and Reece James are not likely to feature.
