Chelsea travels to the Amex Stadium to take on Roberto Di Zerbi’s Brighton & Hove Albion, Graham Potter’s former club.

Potter’s men were on a high, winning by several goal margins and keeping clean sheets. They did not win the last league game, but the Blues are still unbeaten under Potter, and long may it continue. Potter and Marc Cucurella will be returning to their former clubs and both men will want to show that they’re better off at CFC. Brighton out-possessed Manchester City in their last league game, which is impressive in and of itself, but Man City went ahead to win the game anyway. This is what the west London side needs to do, win. The Seagulls are a very good team with a new manager trying to implement his ideas, but the Blues should be able to put them away. He’s who we think Potter selects to start against the Seagulls:

Chelsea’s Kepa Arrizabalaga (No. 1) Goalkeeper, Spain

Arrizabalaga had kept five clean sheets in all competitions in a row, but has gone the last two games without keeping any clean sheets. He has averaged 4.1 saves per game at a 91 per cent accuracy. He did have a bad game against Salzburg though, as he kept coming out to try and punch/claim crosses and he missed a few. His adventurousness is part of why he has continued to play though.
