Brighton & Hove Albion at Chelsea



Brighton brings eight Premier League-tested outfield players to Stamford Bridge, with Lewis Dunk, Olivier Boscagli, and Ferdi Kadioglu anchoring a back line built for structure.
Where each club sits going in, with the rows either side. Points per game matters more than raw points this far into a season, the schedule is rarely even.
Each club's XI from its most recent match, not a team sheet. The real ones post about an hour before kickoff, and sides rotate.
