GRAHAM POTTER will return to Brighton for the first time since he departed the club to join Chelsea earlier this season.
The Seagulls are winless under Potter’s replacement Roberto De Zerbi in the Premier League, with the Italian sure to be keen on a victory over his predecessor.
Potter, on the other hand, is unbeaten since his arrival at Stamford Bridge and will be looking to build on Chelsea’s good form after securing qualification from the group stages in the Champions League.
It remains to be seen as to what sort of reception the Englishman will receive upon his return to Brighton, but the match promises to be an entertaining affair.
Joel Veltman and Adam Lallana face a race against time to return to action for the Seagulls as Kaoru Mitoma remains a doubt.
