Having beaten Spurs and drawn with City, Chelsea looked especially poor in defence during last weekend's 4-1 defeat at Newcastle which also saw captain Reece James sent off. The one bright note was another excellent display from Raheem Sterling who looks back to his very best.

Brighton turned a corner in the opposite direction, last time out. They ended a run of poor results as they secured a 3-2 win at Nottingham Forest. Manager Roberto de Zerbi celebrated passionately after the game and will be looking for another strong display away from home. It won’t be easy for the Seagulls, though. They could be without as many as 11 players including stars Ansu Fati and Tariq Lamptey.

Line-ups 

Chelsea: Sanchez; Disasi, Thiago Silva, Badiashile, Colwill; Caicedo, Fernandez; Sterling, Gallagher, Mudryk; Jackson. 

Subs: Madueke, Broja, Palmer, Petrovic, Maatsen, Deivid Washington, Gilchrist, Bergstrom, Mato. 

Brighton: Steele; Veltman, Van Hecke, Igor, Baleba,; Hinshelwood, Gilmour, Buonanotte, Lallana, Adingra; Ferguson

Subs: Verbruggen, Milner, Joao Pedro, Gross, Moder, Mitoma, Boaitey, Kavanagh, O'Mahony

Can the Seagulls deal out more misery on Chelsea or will the Blues get back to winning ways? Tune in to find out and make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action by checking out our full how to watch Premier League live streams.

How to watch Chelsea vs Brighton live streams wherever you are

The Chelsea vs Brighton live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?

The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.

Our favorite is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long-term.

ExpressVPN

Speed, security and simplicity combine to make ExpressVPN our favorite VPN service. In our testing, we were impressed by its fast connection times and by its ability to access more than 3,000 services in 160 locations across 94 countries. A 30-day money-back guarantee is another bonus.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is a good choice.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Sling TV or another service and watch the game.
