Overview

• Chelsea play Brighton at Stamford Bridge on Saturday in Premier League matchday six, with kick-off set for 3:00 pm BST.
• Football Talk’s predicted XI has Joao Pedro leading the line and suggests Robert Sanchez is available to reclaim the goalkeeper spot from Filip Jorgensen.
• OneFootball lists a different team picture, stating Sanchez remains suspended after his Old Trafford red card and naming Jorgensen to start instead.
• Chelsea will be without Cole Palmer, who is not expected back until after the international break, with OneFootball also noting injuries for Wesley Fofana and Tosin Adarabioyo and late tests for Benoit Badiashile and Romeo Lavia.
• Pundit Paul Merson criticized Maresca for making three early changes in the 2-1 loss at Manchester United, calling the decision to withdraw Pedro Neto after Sanchez’s red card baffling.
