Blues look to continue their impressive start to life under Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea will be out to continue their fine beginning to the Enzo Maresca era as they welcome Brighton to Stamford Bridge in the Premier League this afternoon. Despite another eventful summer the Blues have picked up from where they left off at the end of the short-lived Mauricio Pochettino reign, winning three of their first five top-flight matches of the season to go into the weekend sitting fifth and only three points off top spot.

Consecutive wins over Bournemouth and West Ham were followed by a Carabao Cup thrashing of League Two leaders Barrow in midweek, in which Maresca was able to utilise his large squad and make wholesale changes to keep key players fresh. Today they welcome a Brighton team to west London who came flying out of the blocks under new boss Fabian Hurzeler and remain unbeaten this term, but have just seen their progress slowed somewhat by a run of three consecutive draws before a narrow cup win over Wolves.

The absence of Joao Pedro is a real blow for the Seagulls, who were beaten three times by Chelsea last season and have won just one of their last 11 away games against them. Follow Chelsea vs Brighton live below!
