20:45 – Aubameyang, the man in form
After a mixed start to the season, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is back. Author of seven goals in the last four meetings (Ajax, Rennes, Lyon and Lorient), the Gabonese will be one of the players to watch this evening for the English defense.

At a press conference, Gennaro Gattuso made no secret of the fact that he expects a complicated match this evening in England and that he hopes for a good performance from his players: “We can’t play a draw against a team like Brighton. This team controls the entire pitch, they had 65% of possession on Chelsea’s pitch, it’s incredible. We can’t defend with a very strong block. If you just want to aim for a draw here, all you have to do is make the sign of the cross.”
