EPL: Brigton vs Chelsea – We need to be at the top level – Tuchel

Chelsea will return to action on Tuesday when they face Brighton in the English Premier League.

The Blues will head to the match after their recent defeat to league toppers on Saturday in a 1-0 scoreline.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel in a post-match statement stressed that the Blues would have to be at the top of their game when they face Brighton.

Tuchel said, “It’s the first time for me to play them in their stadium. They are not shy to do one-on-one across the pitch so you have to win challenges defensively and offensively. You have to make a point, prove yourself, show quality and be ready no matter what. We will face a brave, unique and strong opponent. If we want to win we have to be at the top level.”

He added, “It’s the third away match no in a row and it’s only two days after the match at City, so it’s a mix of recovery and preparing for the match. I truly believe we need all our mental and physical capacity to win and, of course, we do want to win.”
