Bila dibandingkan, Brighton yang jadi lawan Chelsea di pekan ke-22, hanya bermain 9 pertandingan atau 5 pertandingan lebih sedikit dari The Blues.
Brighton menjalani lebih sedikit laga karena mendapat keistimewaan laganya ditunda akibat pandemi Covid-19 yang diderita tim dan lawan, maupun karena minimnya kompetisi yang diikuti ketimbang Chelsea.
