Graham Potter returns to the Amex Stadium for the first time since leaving Brighton to take charge at Chelsea on Saturday as the two sides meet down on the South Coast.

The English coach made the move to Stamford Bridge in September and has enjoyed an unbeaten start to life as Blues boss – something he’ll be hoping to continue against his former side this weekend.

Despite being second best for long periods, Chelsea would have been disappointed to have only taken a point from Saturday’s Premier League clash with Man Utd as Casemiro’s equaliser came in the fourth minute of injury time.

Potter’s replacement has not enjoyed quite as fruitful a start to his new job, with Roberto De Zerbi still searching for his first win with Brighton.

Even so, there were plenty of positives to take out of the weekend’s 3-1 defeat to Man City and that may well give his players confidence ahead of the reunion with their former gaffer.

Chelsea have struggled for fluency in recent games against Man Utd and Brentford so their trip down the A23 could prove to be a tough one.

Our prediction: Brighton v Chelsea

Though it sounds crazy to say after a 3-1 defeat, Brighton were much improved against Man City and may actually take some confidence from that game into Saturday’s match against Chelsea.

The Blues were far too passive against Man Utd and have some heavy-handedness from Scott McTominay (or a controversial refereeing decision based upon the way you look at things) to thank for taking anything from the game at all.

Based upon that showing and their goalless draw against Brentford, Brighton can cause them problems and the players Potter left will have something to prove to their former boss, which might just help them earn a point at the Amex.

Our prediction: Brighton 1-1 Chelsea (20/1 at bet365)
