Danny Welbeck has an excellent scoring record against Chelsea FC and Brighton & Hove Albion. The striker will face his former club Brighton when they meet Chelsea at Stamford Bridge tomorrow.

Before joining Chelsea this summer, Welbeck spent six years at Brighton, where he became a prolific threat against the Blues. He scored 6 goals and provided 2 assists in 9 Premier League appearances against Chelsea for Brighton, with his most recent contribution coming in April.

Welbeck made an immediate impact in Chelsea colours on Thursday, scoring his first goal for the club. The 35-year-old striker made his debut in the League Cup second round against Luton Town and finished with a brilliant finish.

Whether Welbeck plays in tomorrow's West London derby will be decided by Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca. The Spanish manager is well aware of Welbeck's abilities and is pleased that the striker will no longer be representing Brighton.

Maresca spoke positively ahead of the match, saying: "I know his record in this fixture, and I'm very happy that now he's one of us!"

Maresca added: "He has many qualities. As a player, you see how intelligent he is, and he links play very well. Outside the box, he can join in combinations; inside the box, he finds intelligent positions. We saw that already in the Luton game.

"In daily training, he has a big influence on other players. He works hard and constantly raises the standard of our training. We think this is very important."

"Of course, they help, but it's not just them. Reece James, Lacroix and Morgan-Rogers also help. Even though they're younger, they can make a positive impact too.

"It's a very important decision in our team planning – to bring in players who can not only perform on the pitch but are also ready to compete every day and can make an impact without needing too much time. We're very happy about this."
