The European competitions will take a brief pause, which means that the domestic leagues will start again. Nevertheless, three Premier League games will be postponed, including the match between Brighton and Chelsea.

The 2023-24 season has not been the best for Chelsea. Currently, the Blues are in 9th place with 47 points and, even though they have improved recently, they won’t be able to participate in European tournaments next year.

As for Brighton, they are very close to Chelsea. A win against the Blues would tie them in points, but we won’t see this outcome this week as this match has been postponed.
