Match preview
Two clubs: one Graham Potter.
Brighton haven’t won since he left, while Chelsea haven’t lost since his arrival.
Will both statistics be shattered here?
Under Potter, Chelsea have taken 11 points from five Premier League games, dramatically held to a 1-1 draw by Manchester United last weekend.
Then, on Tuesday, the Blues wrapped up top spot in their Champions League group, beating RB Salzburg 2-1 in Austria.
Mateo Kovačić and Kai Havertz both scoring absolute screamers in that one.
Brighton meantime haven’t on since smashing Leicester 5-2 on 4 September.
With Roberto De Zerbi at the helm, they’ve taken just two points from five outings, swatted aside by Manchester City a week ago.
Nevertheless, the Seagulls have been generally impressive under De Zerbi, hoping it’ll all come together here.
Who will prevail at the Amex?
