In goal for the visitors is a 19-year-old Robert Sanchez, and in defence is Liam Rosenior, 32. He was replaced at half-time by a future England international called Ben White, then 19, while Brighton were trailing 1-0. 'I trained with Rob, and I coached Rob with Brighton's Under 23s,' Rosenior said. Sanchez had his critics last season when Opta's statistics said no goalkeeper made more mistakes leading to both goals and shots. Chelsea have high confidence in Sanchez, though do have a decision to make on their goalkeeper set-up this summer.
