The Chelesea Brighton lineup have been revealed as the Blues face the dynamic team of Brighton. Enzo Maresca’s costly side face the seagulls today. The two sides are looking to climb up the league table. The blues eased through Barrow in the Carabao Cup winning the match 5-0. The Blues are on a seven game win streak right now as Enzo Maresca’s side seems to keep marching forward since the loss against Manchester City on the Weekend at the start of the season. However, Brighton were held to a draw against Nottingham Forest at their Amex Stadium so they are looking to come back to their winning ways. The Chelsea Brighton lineup have been given below as both the teams ready up for the upcoming match today.
The Chelsea Lineup (4-2-3-1)
The Chelsea Lineup seems to be missing Reece James because of his recent injury in training. Enzo Maresca says “Romeo is available for tomorrow – The only one who isn’t available is Reece [James]” when asked about Romeo Lavia in the press conference. He mentioned that he is finally back and fit enough to play. The boss when asked about the form of Nicolas Jackson and Cristopher Nkunku who are in really good form. He answered that Pedro Neto also played well the other match. The lineup seems to be very attacking based. Palmer starting like always as he has been amazing like the last season. He has scored 2 goals and 4 assists in 6 matches for Chelsea in the Premiere league this season. This is why it is a must start for him. The front 4 of Chelsea seems to be very strong. Mudryk, Lavia, Neto, Felix are all benched if needed later on in the match. However, the current Mudryk situation seems to show that he is getting lesser and lesser game time. He is not getting a start due to his poor performances. He might be leaving Chelsea by January according to various reports.
The Brighton Lineup (4-3-3)
The Seagulls have a very dynamic lineup like always. They are one of the contenders climbing up the table right now. The defence line is mainly focussing on the captain Dunk. In the attack Danny Welbeck is the main attacker along with the brilliant Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter. However, João Pedro wasn’t available for today’s match. Danny Welbeck and Pedro are both drawing for 2 goals this season. They are the two highest goal scorers in the Premier League for Brighton this season till now. Lamptey and Ferguson did not start today and are both on the bench. Fabian Hurzeler’ side seems to have a good attacking lineup as well but with the absence of João Pedro they may seem to have problems.
Who has the edge?
The Chelsea Brighton lineup seems to be consisting of a very strong attacking Enzo Maresca’s side and the dynamic Brighton side. Will Chelsea beat Brighton and continue their seven games unbeaten streak of 6 wins and one draw or will the seagulls find a way to get back to their winning ways after their loss at Amex?. Let us see today and determine by looking at the Chelsea Brighton lineup.

First Half Action:
The match has already started as Georginio Rutter scored a goal by 7 minutes at the Stamford bridge but it didn’t take long for Palmer to find a way to equalise and score a hat-trick in a matter of 10 minutes. Carlos Baleba scored another for Brighton as the Chelsea Keeper Sanchez made a mistake passing it literally straight to Carlos who was 18 yards away from the goal. It wasn’t long as Palmer scored ANOTHER one assisted by Jadon Sancho making the score 4-2 for now as we reach the end of the first half. Both the teams to be fighting for the three points head to head. Palmer finds himself on fire as he scored four goals in the first half keeping Chelsea on lead
Second Half Action:
We did not see much actions from both the teams in the second half with a lot of tactical changes and substitutions from Brighton and from Chelsea. Mudryk got his playtime today but he was not able to do much either getting a very less rating of 5.3 out of 10. Chances were there in the second half but none of the teams could score.
Palmer is on Fire:
The match concluded with Cole Palmer scoring four goals and he could have done even more. He became the first player in the Premier League who scored four goals in the opening half of the game. His freekick from 30 yards was the best goal highlight from today. Palmer has been one of the if not the best signing for Chelsea this season.
