Team News:
Brighton & Hove Albion and Chelsea do battle at the Amex Stadium on Monday evening with both clubs looking for improved Premier League campaigns.

While the Blues edged out Leicester City for fourth place last season, the Seagulls could only finish in 15th position in the standings.
Brighton
Given the defensive options at his disposal, Potter must choose whether to use a 4-2-3-1 formation or line up with a back three.

Preference may be given to a back four, leading to former Chelsea youngster Tariq Lamptey having to make do with a spot among the replacements.

Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup:
Ryan; Veltman, White, Dunk, Burn; Propper, Bissouma; Gross, Lallana, Trossard; Maupay
Brighton & Hove Albion form (pre-season friendlies): DD

Chelsea
Despite making good progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury, Christian Pulisic is likely to be restricted to a place on the substitutes' bench.

With Mateo Kovacic serving a suspension, Jorginho is expected to partner N'Golo Kante in central midfield, with Mason Mount getting the nod over Ruben Loftus-Cheek further forward.

Thiago Silva will be given time to settle into life at Chelsea, potentially resulting in Antonio Rudiger lining up alongside Kurt Zouma in the centre of defence.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Caballero; James, Zouma, Rudiger, Alonso; Kante, Jorginho; Havertz, Mount, Hudson-Odoi; Werner
Chelsea form (pre-season friendlies): D

Prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 2-2 Chelsea
