Chelsea s remaining team faces Brighton, and the home victory faces severe test

In the sixth round of the Premier League this weekend, Chelsea will face Brighton at Stamford Bridge. At the beginning of the new season, Chelsea's performance did not meet expectations, and only won two games in the five rounds of the league, and lost to Bayern Munich away from home in the mid-week Champions League. This time, when returning to the home court, facing Brighton, who has caused trouble for himself many times in recent years, the Blues urgently need a victory to regain morale.

Injuries plagued the defense, Chelsea's defense reorganized

Chelsea faced serious injury problems in this game, and the impact of the defense line was particularly significant. Three central defenders Levi Colewell, Tosin Adarabioyo and Wesley Fofana have all confirmed absent, which makes Trevo Chaloba the mainstay of the defensive line, and he is likely to be a team with the young Yorell Harto in the centre-back. There is no suspense in the full-back position. Marlo Gusto is stationed on the right side, and Mark Cucurella, who faces the old master, will be on the left side.

Palmer is absent, and the midfield is facing reorganization of the platoon of the midfield. This is the main problem faced by coach Maresca. The absence of core player Cole Palmer forced the team to make adjustments. In order to strengthen the hardness of the midfield, captain Rees James may have a position premise and formed a double midfielder with Moises Kessedo. The heavy responsibility of the offensive organization will fall on Enzo Fernandez's shoulders. Maresca emphasized before the game that the Argentine international can play a huge role in the offensive midfield position.

forward line relies on re-support, Brighton is coming on aggressive offensive end, Joao Pedro, who has transferred from Brighton, will face his old boss directly. His good condition since the start of the game is an important reliance for Chelsea. He is expected to form a forward trident with Pedro Neto and Estewan. In goalkeeper position, Robert Sanchez continued to gain the trust of the coach despite being red prematurely against Manchester United in the last round.

Adversary Brighton is by no means a good person. They have demonstrated their competitiveness in defeating Manchester City and drawing with Tottenham in the new season. What is more noteworthy is that the "Seagulls" have defeated Chelsea in both past two confrontations. In this away game, they are bound to hope to continue this strong performance. Facing Brighton, who has a well-equipped team and is in good shape, how to overcome his own injuries and play effective tactics will be the biggest test faced by Maresca and the team.
