The Premier League friendly Summer Series gets underway on Sunday when Chelsea and Brighton and Hove Albion lock horns at the Lincoln Financial Field.
The London side are heading into a five-match winless run against the Seagulls at the weekend and will be looking to end that dry spell.
Newly appointed manager Mauricio Pochettino announced his arrival in style as Chelsea thrashed Wrexham 5-0 in their first pre-season game on Thursday.
The Blues endured a terrible 2022-23 campaign, finishing 12th in the table and outside the top half for the first time since 1996.
While Chelsea will be looking to build on their midweek win, next up is a rampant opponent who will be looking to pick up where they left off last season.
On the other hand, Brighton and Hove Albion enjoyed a historic campaign last term, securing their highest ever finish in the top flight.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side finished sixth in the league table and secured a place in the Europa League while reaching the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
Sunday’s clash will be Brighton’s first action since the end of last season and will be looking to set the right tone for their pre-season campaign.
What time does Chelsea vs Brighton kick off?
This preseason friendly takes place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA and kicks off on Saturday, July 22 at 7:00 p.m. local time.
