Frank Lampard is still looking for his first home win in the Premier League as Chelsea manager as the Blues welcome Brighton to Stamford Bridge today.
Chelsea's thumping 7-1 home Carabao Cup victory over Grimsby on Wednesday meant the rookie boss broke his duck in front of his own fans, but is still looking for maximum points in the league.
Lampard will be buoyed by Chelsea's record against the Seasiders, having won every league encounter dating back to the 1980s and conceding just twice along the way.
Brighton, meanwhile, are aiming to secure only their second win of the season, their first coming on the opening weekend away at Watford.
