Chelsea will look to return to winning ways when they take on a Brighton & Hove Albion side at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The Blues have been wildly inconsistent this season. While there have been some very promising signs for Mauricio Pochettino's troops, they have more often than not flattered to deceive.
The Blues currently sit in 10th-place in the Premier League table with 16 points from 13 matches, 12 points adrift of Aston Villa, who are fourth in the standings. The hosts will head into this match on the back of suffering a 4-1 hammering at the hands of a depleted Newcastle United side away at St. James’ Park.
Brighton, meanwhile, chalked up a 3-2 win at Nottingham Forest last weekend and are once again impressing in English football where they sit in eighth place in the league, albeit they have not been at their very best in recent weeks, with European football taking a toll on their squad.

Team news & squads
Chelsea team news
Long-term absentees Wesley Fofana (knee), Romeo Lavia (ankle), TrevohChalobah (thigh), Carney Chukwuemeka (knee), and Ben Chilwell (thigh) are all set to miss out again, but forward Christopher Nkunku is inching closer to making his long-awaited debut for Chelsea and it remains to be seen if he will be fit to play a part this weekend.
Malo Gusto may be ready to return from a tendon issue, which would be a timely boost considering both Reece James and Marc Cucurella (yellow card accumulation) are serving one-match bans this weekend.
