Team news, key stats and predictions ahead of Chelsea vs Brighton in the Premier League.
Callum Hudson-Odoi and Reece James are in contention for Chelsea after impressing in midweek. Hudson-Odoi marked his return from injury with a goal in the 7-1 drubbing of Grimsby, while defender Reece James was on target on his Blues debut.
Frank Lampard expects Olivier Giroud and Andreas Christensen to be fit after illness and injury respectively but Antonio Rudiger, Emerson Palmieri and Ruben Loftus-Cheek remain sidelined.
Brighton will be without centre-back Shane Duffy after the Republic of Ireland international suffered a calf problem in the midweek Carabao Cup defeat against Aston Villa.
Glenn Murray (ankle) should be available having returned to training, while Alireza Jahanbakhsh could come into contention again following an injury picked up during the international break.
Leandro Trossard (groin) continues his recovery, along with Solly March (thigh) and Bernardo. Jose Izquierdo (knee) and Ezequiel Schelotto (knee) also remain sidelined.

The young stars are shining bright at Chelsea. They got a chance against Grimsby and Callum Hudson-Odoi got a new contract, played and scored too, so everything looks to be on the up. But you have to remember that they lost their last Premier League game, are mid-table so far and you don't know what will happen next.
Graham Potter had a great start to the season and was in a bubble but reality has hit. Leandro Trossard is injured, Anthony Knockaert has gone and they don't have the width any more. Tammy Abraham's pace will be too much for them here.
CHARLIE PREDICTS: 3-1 (11/1 with Sky Bet)
Mason Mount (£7.3m) is the most transferred player in currently on Fantasy Football, with 7.68 per cent of Fantasy Football managers bringing him in for the clash against Brighton. He has three goals to his name already and could be set to extend that with some generous fixtures.
