Another blockbuster clash awaits us in the Premier League as Chelsea prepare to take on Brighton and Hove Albion at Stamford Bridge on September 28.
With just one point separating the two sides right now, a win for either side will take them above the other and possibly among the top 5 in the table by the end of the day.
Chelsea, which is enjoying a good run in the league with two consecutive wins, will now look to make it a hat-trick of wins at home on Saturday. However, they will face a tough challenge from the Seagulls, who are yet to be beaten in the competition after five games. Three draws in five games have seen them lose out on many points, eventually keeping them in 7th position for now.
