Line-up
Pre-match information
Finally, things seem to be working out for Chelsea after a big summer of investment. They have 10 points from 5 games (W3 D1 L1).
Those three wins have come in the last four Premier League games, most recently a 3-0 win over West Ham last Saturday. New manager Enzo Maresca insists Chelsea are moving in the "right direction".
To continue, they will have to end a 2-game winless streak at home (D1 L1) when Brighton visit.
Chelsea beat the Seagulls three times in both the Premier League and Carabao Cup last season, but at Stamford Bridge they have won just one of their four Premier League meetings (D2 L1).
As one of only four teams yet to lose in the Premier League this season (W2 D3), Brighton can be confident of another positive result in West London. Three draws in a row have slowed their progress, but Brighton have fought back from behind in two of their three games. Don't be too quick to write them off.
