Graham Potter this afternoon takes his new side to face off against his old team as Chelsea visit Brighton in the Premier League.
Less than two weeks since swapping the south coast for west London, Potter is back at his old stomping ground having yet to taste defeat as Blues boss.
It’s a different story for Brighton, though, who are yet to win under Roberto De Zerbi after five games, but have shown plenty of promise. A first, statement, win this weekend would do wonders.

Brighton vs Chelsea is scheduled for a 3pm BST kick-off today, Saturday, October 29, 2022.
Amex Stadium will host the match.

Brighton vs Chelsea prediction
This game has thrown up its fair share of draws of late, but I’m backing Potter to get one over on his old team. Brighton are struggling to assert themselves in the same way they did under their ex-boss, while Chelsea - who aren’t exactly firing on all cylinders themselves - should be at an advantage to exploit Brighton’s profligacy.
Chelsea to win 1-0.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
