Romelu Lukaku has retained his place in the Chelsea starting lineup for Tuesday's Premier League fixture at Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Belgian was part of a Blues attack which was criticised by head coach Thomas Tuchel after the 1-0 defeat at Manchester City on Saturday afternoon.

However, the summer arrival has kept his place at the head of the frontline, with Hakim Ziyech and the recalled Mason Mount featuring in close proximity.

Tuchel has made a total of three alterations to the team which started at the Etihad Stadium, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Jorginho the other two players to come into the team.

Malang Sarr, Mateo Kovacic and Christian Pulisic are the players to drop out, but they all feature on a substitutes' bench full of experience and quality.

Meanwhile, Brighton have also made three changes with former Chelsea player Tariq Lamptey, Steven Alzate and Danny Welbeck being brought into the side.
