"Last weekend, Chelsea's 2-1 defeat at Manchester United ended their unbeaten Premier League start. A difficult afternoon at Old Trafford saw the Blues receive more yellow cards (six) than shots on target (five). Nonetheless, Stamford Bridge remains a fortress, with Chelsea unbeaten in their last 12 top-flight home fixtures and keeping seven clean sheets in nine. Premier League form has been less consistent for Fabian Hurzeler's side, with just one win from their opening five matches."
"Chelsea will welcome Robert Sanchez back after he served a suspension for his fifth-minute red card against Manchester United, the earliest in Premier League history for a Blues player. Cole Palmer's ongoing groin issue remains a concern following last weekend's defeat, with surgery still a possibility. Facundo Buonanotte, who starred in midweek, cannot feature against his parent club. Other absentees include Mykhaylo Mudryk (suspended), Dario Essugo (thigh), Romeo Lavia (unspecified), Benoit Badiashile (unspecified), Liam Delap (thigh), and Levi Colwill (knee)."
Chelsea and Brighton meet at Stamford Bridge following Carabao Cup wins against lower-league opponents. Chelsea edged Lincoln 2-1 while Brighton thrashed Barnsley 6-0, highlighted by Diego Gomez scoring four. Chelsea's unbeaten Premier League start ended with a 2-1 loss at Manchester United, but Stamford Bridge remains a stronghold with 12 home matches unbeaten and seven clean sheets in nine. Brighton have won once in five Premier League matches, drew 2-2 with Tottenham after leading 2-0, and remain without an away point this season. Team news includes Robert Sanchez returning, Cole Palmer doubtful, and several Chelsea absentees; Brighton may start Gomez.
