Fresh from a five-star drubbing of Wrexham in Mauricio Pochettino's first game in charge, Chelsea lock horns with Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday as part of the Premier League Summer Series.

The two sides butt heads at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, while Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Brentford and Fulham will also be taking part in the six-team tournament over the next eight days.
However, the Red Dragons' owners may opt against making that friendly into a Hollywood movie, as the Blues hit their League Two counterparts for five without reply, starting with a first-half brace from former Burnley loanee Ian Maatsen.
Wrexham were ostensibly set to keep the scoreline at a respectable 2-0 entering the final 10 minutes, but a late Chelsea onslaught saw Christopher Nkunku mark his debut with a goal before Conor Gallagher and Ben Chilwell completed the rout in injury time.
The North Carolina heat was intense, but Pochettino's youthful Chelsea crop were also on fire on Wednesday evening, although the former Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain boss immediately called for improvement after the final whistle blew, and with good reason too.
Indeed, Chelsea only have top-tier opponents left in their summer friendly schedule, as Newcastle and Fulham will also take on the Blues in the Premier League Summer Series, before Borussia Dortmund provide a stern continental test in Chicago.
