Preview:
Graham Potter is back at Brighton & Hove Albion with his new sign Chelsea. The manager left the hosts in September and will face a hostile environment today.
Brighton & Hove Albion are 9th in the league after slipping up in recent weeks. They are winless in their last five matches, with three losses and two defeats.
Chelsea are on an unbeaten run, but have drawn their last two matches. They sit 5th in the table now and will be desperate for a win today.

Suspension and injuries:
BHA: Kaoru Mitoma and Jakub Moder are ruled out.
CHE: Wesley Fofana, NGolo Kanté, Kalidou Koulibaly and Reece James are ruled out.
Starting line-up:
BHA: Robert Sánchez, Adam Webster, Lewis Dunk, Pervis Estupiñán, Tariq Lamptey, Alexis Mac Allister, Moisés Caicedo, Leandro Trossard, Solly March, Pascal Groß, Danny Welbeck
CHE: Kepa Arrizabalaga, Trevoh Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell, César Azpilicueta, Mateo Kovačić, Jorginho, Marc Cucurella, Raheem Sterling, Mason Mount, Kai Havertz
Top picks:
Mason Mount: The Chelsea man is getting into form and should be a wise pick today. He has scored two and assisted twice so far.
Leandro Trossard: The one to back from Brighton would be their top forward, Leandro Trossard. He is their top scorer with six goals and will threaten the Chelsea defense.
Raheem Sterling: The Englishman is yet to show why Chelsea bought him as he has been blanking in a lot of gameweeks. He will be hungry for a goal or two and could get on the scoresheet.
Captaincy options:
- Mason Mount
- Leandro Trossard
- Raheem Sterling
