Chelsea have made a strong start to the season under new manager Graham Potter. The Blues have won four of their five Premier League games, with their only defeat coming against Manchester United.

Chelsea's attacking players have been in good form, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scoring three goals in his last two games. The Blues will be without N'Golo Kante for the Brighton game, but they have plenty of other options in midfield, including Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic and Conor Gallagher.

Brighton's attacking players have been in good form, with Leandro Trossard scoring three goals in his last two games. The Seagulls will be without Yves Bissouma for the Chelsea game, but they have other options in midfield, including Moises Caicedo and Marc Cucurella.

Prediction

This is a tough game to call. Chelsea are the favourites, but Brighton are a good team and they will be looking to make it difficult for the Blues. I think Chelsea will win 2-1.
