Big test of recent progress for Blues in Premier League

Chelsea meet unbeaten Brighton in the Premier League this weekend.

It represents perhaps the biggest Enzo Maresca has had since the Blues lost to Manchester City on the opening weekend.

There is little doubt Chelsea have progressed since, however.

Having romped to a 3-0 win over West Ham in their last League outing, confidence should indeed be high.

Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Chelsea vs Brighton is scheduled for a 3pm BST kick-off time on Saturday 28 September, 2024.

Stamford Bridge in London will host.

Romeo Lavia may not be ready to return but wholesale changes from midweek are expected. Nicolas Jackson, Cole Palmer, Jadon Sancho, Noni Madueke and former Brighton star Moises Caicedo are all pushing to return.

The Seagulls are without James Milner, Matt O’Riley and Solly March. Joao Pedro will need to be assessed after suffering a knock in last weekend’s draw with Nottingham Forest.

It’s a big test of Chelsea’s progress, given Brighton are unbeaten thus far. A point would not be a bad result.

Draw, 1-1.
