Chelsea vs Brighton: Friendly prediction, kick-off time, TV, live ...

Chelsea take on Brighton in an all-Premier League pre-season friendly with a bit of added spice tonight.

The Blues got off to a winning start under the Argentine earlier this week with a 5-0 victory over Wrexham but Roberto De Zerbi’s Seagulls will provide a much sterner test.

The Moises Caicedo subplot is, of course, hard to ignore.
