That Brighton team news seems tough on Alireza Jahanbakhsh, who scored his first goal for the club against Bournemouth after 18 months of trying. Chelsea have made three changes since Arsenal, where they didn’t play too well until late on, with Reece James, Christian Pulisic and Jorginho coming in for Azpilicueta, Mateo Kovacic and Emerson dropping out. Emerson has been linked with a move in the transfer rumour mill while another player who seems almost definite to be leaving, Olivier Giroud, has been left out altogether.
