Premier League PREVIEW 30 Aug 2026: Welbeck faces Brighton four weeks on, and three clubs open at home

Four fixtures, three of them at one o'clock, and three of them a club's first home game of the season. Chelsea host Brighton and Hove Albion at Stamford Bridge with Danny Welbeck lining up against the club he left at the start of August, after nine years and a two-year deal that runs against Chelsea's stated preference for players under twenty-five.
