Chelsea vs Brighton Confirmed Lineups for Premier League Tie

Chelsea Team News

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.

Notable Changes

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.

Notable Changes

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.
