Over the summer, many questioned both Brighton and Chelsea, with the Seagulls losing the ever-dependable Pascal Groß and appointing the Premier League’s youngest-ever manager, while the Blues continued their haphazard spending under the new leadership of Enzo Maresca.
However, after five games, both teams have emphatically proven doubters wrong, delivering impressive performances that leave them just a point apart towards the top end of the table.
Despite being winless in their last three league matches, including a fiery 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest in their most recent outing, Brighton are undefeated thus far under Fabian Hürzeler.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have secured back-to-back clean sheets on the road, and their plethora of attacking options have all proven themselves more than deserving of a place in the starting line-up.
This weekend, the two sides will clash at Stamford Bridge, with the Albion looking to avenge the three narrow defeats the West London club inflicted upon them last season.
