Chelsea line-up: Callum Hudson-Odoi starts first Premier League game

Callum Hudson-Odoi will start his first Premier League game for Chelsea after being picked in Maurizio Sarri's starting line-up against Brighton.

The 18-year-old has finally been handed the chance to impress from the off by Sarri after making his full debut for England against Montenegro last week.

His impressive display in the 5-1 Euro 2020 victory in Podgorica, along with chants by Chelsea fans in the club's 2-1 win away to Cardiff on Sunday, has resulted in Sarri starting Hudson-Odoi for the first time in the league this term.

The winger has made 19 appearances for Chelsea this season, and scored five goals.

Chelsea XI: Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Luiz, Emerson Palmieri, Kante, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Giroud, Hazard

Subs: Rudiger, Barkley, Higuain, Caballero, Kovacic, Zappacosta, Willian

Brighton XI: Ryan, Saltor, Duffy, Dunk, Bong, Propper, Stephens, Bissouma, March, Andone, Jahanbakhsh

Subs: Kayal, Knockaert, Murray, Izquierdo, Button, Bernardo, Burn

Referee: Graham Scott (Oxfordshire)
