Chelsea face Brighton at Stamford Bridge in just under an hour, and the teams are in!
It’s the peak of rotation season – especially given the titanic clash against Liverpool coming up this weekend – and Thomas Tuchel keeps the changes coming.
There are 4 alterations to the team that beat Aston Villa on Sunday, with Reece James moving to left back and Christian Pulisic to right back. Marcos Alonso drops to the bench.
Callum Hudson-Odoi keeps his place on the left wing with Romelu Lukaku leading the line and Mason Mount on the other flank.
In midfield, N’Golo Kante is replaced by Mateo Kovacic, and at the back Andreas Christensen comes in for Thiago Silva. It’s not a perfect team, but it’s solid considering the circumstances, and it should get the job done against a well drilled Brighton.
Here are the full team line-ups for Chelsea vs Brighton (kick off at 19:30 pm GMT)
