Chelsea boss Graham Potter expects hostility from his old Brighton fans tomorrow.

Potter faces his former fans for the first time on Saturday.

He said, "Sometimes life throws you opportunity and you have to take them or not.

"Timing wasn't great for anybody and sometimes that happens.

"The decision to work here was too good to turn down.

"I don't have expectations of the crowd, most people I've spoken to from Brighton have been supportive but I'm not naive, that's not universal.

"We all want to win. The difference is luck.

"We've won our games and maybe had a bit of luck and Brighton haven't had too much.

"Both of us are under pressure because it's a Premier League game and both of us want to win.

"They're a good team and understand space. Apart from luck, they'd have more points.

"They're a great bunch of lads, with top staff as well.

"I had a fantastic time there, I know the quality and it's a difficult game for us."
