The new Blues coach made his debut, and the Seagulls Legion is coming in full force!

Stanford Bridge tonight is destined to be uneasy! Chelsea will face Brighton, who is in a hot state this season at home. On the one hand, there is the Blues who urgently need to prove his coach after changing coaches, and on the other hand, the "Seagulls" that has remained unbeaten in the league so far. The highlight of this showdown is more than just three-pointers.

Chelsea fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief recently - core player Havertz officially resumed joint training this week after months of injury. The German midfielder was absent due to knee surgery, but Arsenal (note: the original text mentioned that Havertz is an Arsenal player, which needs to be verified here) had optimistically estimated his recovery progress. Although it is not certain whether he can start, even if he comes on the bench, his overall view and sense of smell in the penalty area can bring qualitative changes to Chelsea's forward line. Imagine: If Havertz could make the game in 70 minutes and break the deadlock with a straight pass or header, the cheers from Stamford Bridge would probably overturn the roof!

Brighton is able to firmly rank in the upper level of the standings, and Argentine midfielder McAllister has made an indelible contribution. Although his score is occasionally only 6.6 points, this guy is a typical player with "data cannot reflect value" - 82.6% pass success rate, at least 2 key passes per game, which is a midfield metronome. Don't forget that he contributed 1 goal and 2 assists against Tottenham last season. If he can "steal" several counterattack opportunities in Chelsea's young midfield group tonight, the Blues' defense will be hanging.

Kepa, who transferred from Chelsea to Arsenal this summer, is now back to Stamford Bridge as an opponent. Is this plot bloody enough? The goalkeeper, who is worth 80 million euros, has experienced highs and lows here. Now under the defense line of Brighton (Note: Kepa is not clear about playing for Brighton, which needs to be verified), he needs to prove that he deserves the "biggame-level" performance. Especially in the face of Chelsea's possible high-altitude bombing (after all, the new Blues coach is said to love to use long pass tactics), Kepa's save and attack choices will become the winner.

The first show of Chelsea's new coach is like a student handing in his homework - is the question difficult? Brighton is a well-known "tactical laboratory". Their three-center-back system and wingbacks are inserted into it, which is a special team that defeats the single midfielder team. If the Blues continue to use last season's 4231, the midfield defense may be torn apart by the interlude of McAllister and Enciso. However, changing the coach is like changing the sword. If the coach takes out a 352 strange formation and let Havertz and Jackson form a two-forward striker... This scene is exciting to think about!

Chelsea fans are feeling like waiting for takeaway at this moment - they are looking forward to the new coach bringing "deliciousness", but they are afraid that they will be delivered with a plate of "dark cuisine". On the other hand, Brighton fans, with the mentality of "barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes", wins and makes a lot of money, and draws will not lose money. However, the charm of football lies in that no matter how different the strength on paper is, anything can happen within 90 minutes - such as Kepa saved a penalty from his old club, or Havertz slapped the old master in the face with a world-shot (if he played for Chelsea)?
