WELCOME! Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE digital coverage as Chelsea host Brighton in the Premier League. Kickoff at Stamford Bridge is at 19:30 GMT.

TUCHEL NOTES:

The German is writing ferociously in his notebook. Brighton have looked good early doors. while his side have yet to find their rhythm.

CHANCE!
Lamptey with a brilliant run on the inside, bursting past James and on the stretch his shot from inside the box goes well wide.

CORNER:
Rudiger wins a corner. The cross is partially clawed away by the keeper and the danger is dealt with.

Lamptey goes over after a collision with James in the box after Moder's flick on. Unsurprisingly, the ref says no penalty.

Couple of wayward passes from Mount and then Jorginho, a rarity.

Bright start from the visitors. A cross is hooked into the box but its too high for Lamptey to get his head on.

KICK OFF: We are underway.

5 minutes till kickoff!

Thomas Tuchel uses his programme notes to reflect on his first year in charge having replaced Frank Lampard in January.

“I stepped into this club more or less at the beginning of the year, in January, and since day one it has felt like the right decision.

“The organisation at Chelsea, plus the amount and quality of support we get, is outstanding.

“It’s a pleasure to work with this team every day, and the people are of the highest level in every department, so I’m very happy to be part of the staff here.”

The Seagulls form has been patchy with 3 draws, a win and a loss in their last 5 games.

Chelsea have 3 wins and 2 draws in all competitions after a bad spell.

Graham Potter is without the injured Trossard. March replaces him while Bissouma and Veltman also start.
