After another eventful summer, the noise around Chelsea has quietened down in recent weeks. That is to the credit of Enzo Maresca, who has overseen back-to-back victories over Bournemouth and West Ham to lift Chelsea up to fifth place.

This meeting with Brighton will be a stern examination of their credentials, however. Albion were not at their best in a 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest last time out, but they remain unbeaten this season. They are also capable of taking the ball away from Chelsea for long periods.

Goals should be on the cards in this one, not least because both managers have plenty of attacking options on their benches. Chelsea are the favorites but Brighton, who have drawn three league games in a row, are capable of getting something at Stamford Bridge.

Tune in to find out who comes out on top, plus make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action with our how to watch Premier League live streams guide.

Unfortunately, there will be no Chelsea vs Brighton live stream in the United Kingdom. That's because U.K. broadcasters are blocked from airing Saturday 3 p.m. kick-offs to protect attendances elsewhere in the football pyramid.

U.S. fans visiting the U.K. can use one of the best VPN services to access their usual streaming service from abroad. We recommend NordVPN.

As it stands, live Premier League rights are split three ways in the U.K. between Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Amazon Prime Video.

For the 24/25 season, Sky Sports is set to show 128 matches live, while TNT Sports will show 52 matches live, including every Saturday lunchtime kick-off. Amazon Prime Video has the rights to 20 matches this season.
