Albion have six points from six matches so this season but were unlucky not to win their last two matches against Burnley and Newcastle. In both matches they dominated for large periods of the match but drew both. Albion’s only Premier League win of the season arrived on the opening day with a 3-0 triumph at Watford.

Frank Lampard’s Chelsea are two points above Brighton in 11th but still seek a first home Premier League win. Chelsea have drawn against Leicester and Sheffield United at Stamford Bridge this season and leaders Liverpool beat them last weekend.
