Supercomputer makes telling Brighton and Chelsea Premier League finish prediction after Graham Potter switch

Potter took his first training session with Chelsea yesterday, having left Brighton after joining them from Swansea in 2019. Potter transformed Albion during his time on the south coast and turned them from relegation strugglers to a team capable of challenging for Europe. The Blues appointed Potter on a five-year contract on Thursday, just a day after sacking Thomas Tuchel. New Chelsea owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali are understood to regard the upwardly-mobile coach Potter as a risk taker, innovator and master communicator, in the mould of a blue-chip company chief executive. Chelsea’s ambitious US owners Boehly and Eghbali are thought to be determined to break the hiring and firing cycle at the Bridge by installing Potter at the helm for the long-term. Potter will be expected to challenge for the top prizes, while fourth placed Brighton will hope to continue their fine start to the season. Brighton's scheduled match at Bournemouth was postponed, following the Queen's death and Albion also postponed their next fixture against Crystal Place due to a rail strike. It means Brighton will not play until after the international break at Liverpool on October 1. If the Seagulls can appoint a new boss swiftly, it will give them plenty of time to bed in and prepare to restart their campaign at Anfield.
