Highlights:

As Danny Welbeck’s beautiful header sailed beyond Édouard Mendy, it was difficult not to feel that we were witnessing the end of Chelsea’s title challenge.

The gap to Manchester City stands at an imposing eight points and there was something resigned about the way Thomas Tuchel turned on his heels when Welbeck equalised for Brighton, who would have been the victims of a gross injustice had they left Stamford Bridge with nothing to show for a splendid performance.

Results:

Unable to build on Romelu Lukaku’s first-half header, Chelsea could have few complaints after slumping to their third draw in their past four league games.

The January transfer window is set to open with Premier League clubs eyeing up opportunities to boost their seasons. And with Covid causing additional pressure on squads, extra depth could prove crucial in the second half of the season.

Prediction:

Chelsea’s Boxing Day success at Villa came at quite the cost, with Thomas Tuchel joining his fellow top-flight managers in bemoaning the hectic schedule as two of his experienced stalwarts once again entered the treatment room.

Two penalties from Jorginho either side of Romelu Lukaku’s header ultimately cancelled out Reece James’s own goal to propel Chelsea to a vital three points at Villa Park, but witnessing Thiago Silva and N’Golo Kante being forced off was not a pleasant sight for the Blues boss.
