Brighton vs Chelsea: Storylines

Brighton managed to finish 15th last season with seven points above the relegation zone, securing another top-flight season. This season, they would surely look to upset some firm favorite sides and what would be a better start for them than do it against the Premier League 2020 summer transfer window kings.

Frank Lampard's side have been absolutely owning the summer transfer window, not only in England but in Europe as well. They have so far managed to sign Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, Ben Chilwell, Hakim Ziyech, Malang Sarr and Thiago Silva for a combined fee of $263m.

Chelsea will look to extend their head-to-head score against Brighton. As a result of them being the complete favorites against the home side, the Blues can't afford to slip-up right from the start.
