Chelsea looking to maintain 89-year streak versus Brighton & Hove Albion

Chelsea will be attempting to extend a near nine-decade unbeaten streak when they face Brighton & Hove Albion on Wednesday night.

Having witnessed Liverpool succumb to Leicester City on Tuesday night, the Blues will move into second position in the Premier League standings if they avoid defeat at Stamford Bridge.

However, Thomas Tuchel's side will be pushing for all three points, and Chelsea have recorded wins in 12 of their 16 matches against the Seagulls.

In fact, the West Londoners are currently on a 15-game undefeated run against their next opponents, Brighton's only victory coming in the first-ever meeting between the teams.

That inaugural fixture took place on January 14, 1933, meaning that Chelsea are guaranteed to go 89 years without losing to Brighton if they claim a draw or victory.

While Brighton have only avoided defeat on four occasions, they have claimed draws from two of their last three encounters with Chelsea.
