Chelsea welcome Brighton to Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon for an intriguing Premier League showdown.
The Blues head into the fixture after suffering their first league defeat of the season, falling 2-1 away at Manchester United last weekend. That result leaves Enzo Marescaâs side sitting sixth in the table, already seven points adrift of leaders Liverpool.
Marescaâs men quickly responded in midweek, avoiding an early EFL Cup exit with a hard-fought 2-1 comeback win over Lincoln City to secure their place in the fourth round.
Brighton, meanwhile, arrive on the back of a morale-boosting cup performance of their own. Fabian Hurzelerâs team thrashed Barnsley 6-0 in the EFL Cup, underlining their attacking potential. However, inconsistency continues to be a theme in the league. Last weekend, they let a two-goal lead slip to draw 2-2 against Tottenham, meaning they have just one win from their opening five Premier League matches.
