Match week 25 of the 2024/25 season of the Premier League will start on Valentine’s Day with a match between Brighton & Hove Albion and Chelsea. The Seagulls will be hosting The Blues on 14 February, 2025 at their home base stadium of Falmer. This will be the clubs’ second game against each other this season. The previous one took place on 28 September and ended in a 4 – 2 win for the hosting Chelsea.
Chelsea is currently placed in the top four of the Premier League table, while Brighton finishes the top ten.
Brighton continues playing this season with their head coach Fabian Hürzeler who was signed to the club in June 2024. His first competitive match in charge of the team took place on 17 August, as the first match day of the Premier League. Brighton played against Everton F.C. and won 3 – 0.
Chelsea signed their new coach Enzo Maresca about two weeks prior to Brighton getting their new manager. While his first game in the Premier League ended in a 0 – 2 loss to Manchester City, the first win was a very impressive one. Chelsea won 6 – 2 in a match against Wolverhampton Wolves. For this achievement, Maresca was titled Premier League Manager of the Month for September 2024.

Brighton vs Chelsea: Current Progress at Premier League 2024/25
Chelsea started the season with a 0 – 2 home loss to Manchester City, but quickly made up for that in the very next game, defeating Wolverhampton Wolves 6 – 2. They kept showing a pretty good game from there on, and by December 2024 occupied the second position in the Premier League table. But later they dropped two positions down. While they still qualify to be promoted to the Champion League league phase, they should be on high alert, as both Manchester City and Newcastle United are breathing down their necks.
The highest position Brighton Hove & Albion occupied in the league table since they were promoted to Premier League in the 2017/18 season was when they finished sixth in 2022/23. They started the 2024/25 season with an impressive 3 – 0 away win with Everton. At some point this season it looked like they could exceed that result, having climbed up to the fifth position and qualifying for the Europa League league phase. However, currently they are in the tenth position, and even though it doesn’t seem like relegation to the EFL Championship will be a realistic threat, right now qualification for any of the European leagues is also out of the picture.
Below you will find detailed stats of their current progress in the 2024/25 season.
