Chelsea vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Chelsea host Brighton at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 29 August 2026, Xabi Alonso's first home game in charge, against opponents who've given Chelsea real problems in recent seasons.
Brighton have won four of their last ten Premier League meetings with Chelsea and inflicted one of the low points of Chelsea's difficult 2025/26 campaign, thrashing them 3-0 at the Amex in April 2026 as part of a five-game losing streak without scoring. Alonso's first home fixture at Stamford Bridge is therefore no gentle introduction — a chance to set an early marker against a Brighton side that's consistently punched above their weight against the Blues under Fabian Hürzeler.
