Brighton v Chelsea Live: Graham Potter's Blues go chasing a top four place as he faces former club Brighton for the first time

The home side are in front against Chelsea for the first time in the history of the Premier League.

The home side take the lead after excellent build-up from Mitoma. The Japan winger races into the box and slips a clever ball to Leandro Trossard who dances into space and places his shot into the bottom corner.

Thiago Silva is there on the line to save Chelsea again. What a start from the veteran!

Thiago Silva drifts back to his line to head Trossard's lob off the line after Kepa gets caught in no man's land.

Sensational from the Brazilian.

A careful, probing start from the Blues had the home side chasing the ball, but now they get their own chance.

They used to love him, but not any more. Former Brighton full-back is getting hammered by the home fans.

Chelsea get us underway

The teams are on their way out. Here we go!

The action is almost upon us. Who will take the points in today's big Premier League clash?

De Zerbi says Danny Welbeck was due to play today but misses out with a late issue, as does Tariq Lamptey who is on the bench.

Potter admits he knows the players and their qualities, says his changes are tactical and rotational considerations.

The former Manchester City man started well at Stamford Bridge this season but is now on a goalless streak in the Premier League stretching back to August.

Is today the day he gets back on track?

Chelsea youngster Omari Hutchinson is named on the bench today against Brighton. He could be set for his Premier League debut, just five months after joining the Blues from Arsenal.

Chelsea's lead attacker is sporting some special shin pads today against Brighton.

The Blues' official match program suggests they will finally be showing off that mustard coloured kit today against Brighton.

Brighton haven't won a game since Graham Potter left to join Chelsea, but they've faced some tough competition in that time.

Tottenham, Manchester City, and Liverpool have been among the teams that new manager Roberto de Zerbi has been unable to beat.

Brighton have an impressive recent record against Chelsea, having lost just one of their past six meetings. The other five have been draws.

However, Brighton have never beaten Chelsea in a league match and their last win against the Blues in any competition came way back in 1933 in the FA Cup.

Kaoru Mitoma returns from injury to start for the hosts, but Jakob Moder misses out and Levi Colwill is unable to face his parent club.

Chelsea continue to lament the absence of Ngolo Kante, Kalidou Koulibaly, Wesley Fofana, and Reece James.
