0

Chelsea take on Brighton later today at the Amex Stadium in our first Premier League game of the season.

After a summer of big spending in the transfer window, Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard will be desperate to make the perfect start on the south coast.

Chelsea fans will be eager to see some of our summer signings make their debut against Brighton tonight.

Hakim Ziyech is unavailable for selection after he picked up an injury against Brighton several weeks ago in a pre-season friendly. Ben Chilwell and Thiago Silva are also to miss the game, with Lampard confirming that the pair are not fully fit.

Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour is also expected to miss the game against Brighton as he is yet to recover from an injury he suffered last season.

Below is the squad available for selection against Brighton:

Goalkeepers: Kepa Arrizabalaga, Willy Caballero.
Defenders: Cesar Azpilicueta, Reece James, Antonio Rudiger, Fikayo Tomori, Juan Castillo, Andreas Christensen, Kurt Zouma, Marcos Alonso, Emerson Palmieri.
Midfielders: Jorginho, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Ross Barkley, Mason Mount, Kai Havertz, N’Golo Kante.
Forwards: Christian Pulisic, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Tammy Abraham, Olivier Giroud, Timo Werner.
