Brighton and Hove Albion v Chelsea live – Premier League latest as Nkunku doubles 10-man Blues' lead

Palmer has had a hand in 31 Premier League goals this season (21 goals, 10 assists).

Only three Chelsea players have registered more goal involvements in a single season in the competition; Didier Drogba (39. 2009-10), Frank Lampard (36, 2009-10) and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (32, 2000-01).

The referee is sent to his pitchside monitor, which shows Buonanotte got a foot on the ball with his sliding challenge.

He subsequently overturns his initial decision, and Brighton breathe a sigh of relief.

The referee points to the spot after Buonanotte is adjudged to have tripped Cucurella in the box.

Brighton are incensed by the decision, which did look a little harsh in all fairness.

Surely, VAR will have a look at this...

Mudryk leads Chelsea's charge with a strong inside run from the left wing before laying the ball off for Palmer.

The Blues' top scorer unleashes a fierce shot from outside the box, but it is straight at Verbruggen.

Brighton embark on an attack down the right flank and Lamptey sends the ball into the box.

Adingra controls and gets his shot away on the turn, but it drifts fractionally wide of Petrovic's right post.

Brighton force a corner and the fans raise the decibel levels to urge their side on.

The delivery is helped towards Gross at the far post, but Gallagher reacts quickly to head clear in the nick of time.

Chelsea suddenly embark on a swift counter and the ball is quickly played out to Madueke on the right flank.

He cuts into the penalty area and gets a low shot away, but Verbruggen pushes it to safety.

The referee blows his whistle and Chelsea get us under way!

Both are out and we are almost ready to go at the American Express Stadium.

Pochettino's single swap from their 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest sees Gusto come in for Silva, with Chalobah moving across into the heart of defence.

Former Brighton players Cucurella and Caicedo start, while Chilwell returns from injury on the bench.

Roberto De Zerbi makes a couple of alterations from the 1-1 draw at Newcastle last weekend.

Former Chelsea defender Lamptey replaces the injured Joel Veltman at right-back, while Pedro takes Welbeck's place up front.

Brighton: Verbruggen; Lamptey, Webster, Dunk, Igor; Gross, Gilmour; Buonanotte, Enciso, Adingra; Pedro.

Subs: Steele, Offiah, Barco, Atom, Moder, Lallana, Baleba, Fati, Welbeck.

Chelsea: Petrovic; Gusto, Chalobah, Badiashile, Cucurella; Caicedo, Gallagher; Madueke, Palmer, Mudryk; Jackson.

That is certainly the case when you look at the form book.

Seventh-place Chelsea are finishing the season strongly. The Blues have won three successive matches and lost just one of their last 13.

Mauricio Pochettino's side could leapfrog sixth-place Newcastle United by bettering the Magpies' result against Manchester United this evening.

As for Brighton, they have won just one of their last eight games - albeit that win came against fourth-place Aston Villa in their most recent outing on home soil.

Nevertheless, the Seagulls can strengthen their position in the top 10 with a victory here.
