Chelsea vs Brighton Lineups and Last Match
Chelsea
Chelsea have already won their opening pre-season game in style against Welsh League Two side Wrexham. A brace from Maatsen was followed up by goals from Gallagher, Nkunku and Chilwell in what was a dominating display from the Premier League outfit. The new-look Chelsea team has seen the likes of Havertz, Mount, Kovacic, Koulibaly, Mendy, Loftus-Cheek, Kante, Azpilicuta and Pulisic all depart for pastures new with Nkunku, Jackson, Angelo the main signings so far this summer.
Predicted Lineup – Kepa (GK), Silva, W. Fofana, Chilwell, James, Fernandez, Gallager, Mudryk, Sterling, Jackson & Nkunku
Brighton
Brighton are yet to play a pre-season game but will be confident that they can get off to a winning start having secured the domestic double against Chelsea last season. The Seagulls have brought in Pedro from Watford, Verbruggen from Anderlecht and Mazilu from Farul, while Dahoud and Milner arrived on free transfers. Mac Allister is the only major departure from the club this summer, so we are expecting Brighton to be right up there battling it out for the European places once again.
Predicted Lineup – Sanchez (GK), Veltman, Estupinan, Dunk, Lamptey, March, Gross, Mitoma, Caicedo, Milner, Ferguson

Player to Watch: Christopher Nkunku
Chelsea's big summer signing, so far, this season is the RB Leipzig forward Christopher Nkunku.
The French international made his name at PSG before moving to the Bundesliga in 2019 where he went on to play 119 times, scoring 47-goals. Chelsea have paid a reported £60m for the 25-year-old who scored on his debut for the Londoners in the pre-season friendly against Wrexham.
It's going to be interesting to see how Nkunku performs against Premier League opposition and we've highlighted the Frenchman as our player to watch against Brighton.
