Chelsea's new manager, Alonso, has made a strong start. In his first game, Chelsea defeated Fulham 3 - 2 away, and then won 2 - 0 against Luton in the League Cup mid - week. They have achieved two consecutive wins in both competitions this new season. The offensive players like Palmer, Pedro, and Rogers are in great form, providing plenty of scoring options in the front - court. This game is Alonso's first home match at Stamford Bridge, so the team has a strong desire to grab points. Alonso is likely to adopt a 3 - 4 - 2 - 1 formation with three central defenders. The wing - backs will push forward significantly, relying on flanking penetrations and high - pressing to launch attacks, which shows high offensive aggression. However, there are concerns in the defense. Goalkeeper Sanchez has inconsistent performances and lacks stability. The availability of Caicedo and Enzo is uncertain, while Henderson and Palacios are out due to injuries. This has affected the midfield's rotation depth.

Chelsea holds an edge in overall squad depth and transfer activity. However, Brighton arrives full of confidence after two consecutive wins and has triumphed in their last three encounters, so they're not daunted by Chelsea. Chelsea has made significant investments this summer. Under new manager Xabi Alonso, the Blues have started the league and cup campaigns with two straight victories. But the team is still in the process of gelling. Alonso said before the game that Brighton would serve as a "litmus test" for his side.
