These are the confirmed lineups for Chelsea vs Brighton & Hove Albion on September 27. This Premier League clash will see two inconsistent Premier League sides go head-to-head. The Blues have two wins and two draws as well as the Manchester United defeat weighing on their minds. The Seagulls have beaten Manchester City and taken a point from Tottenham while losing to Everton and Bournemouth. Fireworks are sure to blow on the field as these two teams try and put on their best display.
Rob Sanchez starts in goal with a back line of Trevoh Chalobah, Reece James, Jorrel Hato, and Marc Cucurella. Andrey Santos partners Moises Caicedo in defensive midfield with Enzo Fernandez at the ten role. Estevao and Pedro Neto are on the wings with Joao Pedro starting up front.
Some tinkering from Enzo Maresca due to absences. He’s pushed Enzo forward as a number ten with Santos partnering Caicedo. Hato comes in presumably as a centre-back due to a lack of options with James on the right to overlap or tuck in depending on how Santos/Caicedo move throughout the match.
Bart Verbruggen starts in goal with a back line of Lewis Dunk, Jan Paul van Hecke, Ferdi Kadioglu, and Joel Veltman. Carlos Baleba is in midfield withDiego Gomez, Yasin Ayari, Kaoru Mitoma, Yankuba Minteh, and Georginio Rutter.
The 4-2-3-1 stays with Van Hecke and Dunk resuming their partnership in the defensive line after a break in midweek. The midfield and attack sees multiple changes with only Baleba and Gomez keeping their spots.
