Estimated reading time: 1 min

Robert Sanchez is set to return to the Chelsea line-up as they host Brighton in the Premier League. The goalkeeper was sent off early in their recent 2-1 defeat to Manchester United, but has served his suspension and is now eligible to play.

Sanchez was dismissed by referee Peter Bankes for denying a goal-scoring opportunity, resulting in a one-match ban. This suspension was served during Chelsea’s 2-1 Carabao Cup win against Lincoln City, allowing him to be available for selection against his former club Brighton.

Chelsea will be looking to improve their Premier League form after a mixed set of recent results. They have gone unbeaten in their two home games this season, while Brighton have struggled on the road.
