Chelsea vs Brighton LIVE: Premier League latest score and confirmed lineups

Chelsea welcome Brighton to Stamford Bridge this afternoon with injury problems piling up for Enzo Maresca.

The Blues have won just two of their opening five Premier League matches with more than a touch of fortune involved in one of those victories over Fulham.

Things aren’t getting any easier. There are problems at the back with Tosin Adarabioyo and Wesley Fofana both ruled out today.

A groin problem has limited Cole Palmer’s game time so far this season and with the issue refusing to go away, the England international is not expected to play again until after the international break.
