Confirmed Chelsea team vs Brighton – Pulisic and Sterling start, Mount returns, no Aubameyang

Graham Potter has made two changes to his Chelsea side for this afternoon's Premier League clash against Brighton and Hove Albion – with Mason Mount back in the starting XI in place of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Chelsea travel to the Amex Stadium unbeaten under Potter, who left the Seagulls to replace Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge last month. His replacement at Brighton, Roberto De Zerbi, has yet to claim a victory in the five matches he has overseen. It's a record the Italian coach will be desperate to end this afternoon.

There are still several injury issues Potter has to contend with. Reece James and Wesley Fofana are both absent due to knee issues, Kalidou Koulibaly is ruled out with a hamstring injury, and N'Golo Kante isn't expected to be fit until February at the earliest after undergoing hamstring surgery.
