Ipswich work the ball forward at pace and Davis threads it through for Liam Delap, who looks like he loses his balance but is caught by Filip Jorgensen and the referee points to the spot!

Big moment for the home side.

Chelsea look slick in possession. They are getting in behind Ipswich with ease.

Leif Davis has to worry about Noni Madueke tonight and his defensive responsibilities.

Ipswich striker Liam Delap has been linked a lot with a move to Chelsea to play under his former Manchester City development manager Enzo Maresca.

Maresca was highly complimentary about his former forward ahead of kick-off.

Delap looks fired up in these opening minutes, wrestling with both Chelsea central defenders Tosin Adarabioyo and Levi Colwill.

He also got a telling off by referee John Brooks for clattering Colwill.

It's been end-to-end so far at Portman Road with decent chances at both ends.

Marc Cucurella can't quite get on the end of a cross before Ipswich go up the other end and fashion another good opportunity.

We're back under way at Villa Park. Fear not those of you with Joao Pedro in your fantasy team, Joao Pedro is back on the pitch.

Omari Hutchinson is creating a lot of problems.

It's another show of Ipswich's intent to press high.

Ipswich have started well here. Omari Hutchinson does well down the right-hand side and cuts it back for Nathan Broadhead, making his first Premier League start, but the shot drags wide.

The Brighton physios are doing their best to patch up Joao Pedro with the Brighton striker getting a lovely white bandage wrapped around his head.

The pre-match disco music and pyrotechnics have roused the crowd at Portman Road ahead of Chelsea's visit.

It's a brisk, cold night but the local support are in loud voice as they chase their first home win since returning to the Premier League.

That poor record hasn't dampened anyone's spirits and the travelling away support are also audible during the gaps in the home crowd's songs.

Ipswich are desperate for points. They remain the only side in the Premier League not to win a home match this season.

An early stoppage in play as Joao Pedro and Boubacar Kamara clash heads.

Both are in need of treatment with blood flowing from the face of the Brazilian.

Away we go in Ipswich and in Birmingham for our two early kick-offs.

Chelsea will bring defender Aaron Anselmino back from Boca Juniors in January.

The 19-year-old joined Chelsea in a £15.6million summer deal but was immediately sent back on loan to the Argentine giants.

Anselmino was always potentially going to return in January but the decision has been definitively made to bring him to England in January.

It remains unclear whether Anselmino could go on another loan move within Europe, including potentially to partner club Strasbourg in France, or whether he will remain with Enzo Maresca's squad.

Maresca currently has several injuries in his back line, including Reece James, Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile.

However, Anselmino also missed the last five league games of the Argentine season with a hamstring problem.

The recall will also free up an international loan spot with a limit of six players allowed to go on temporary moves overseas due to new FIFA rules.

Midfielder Cesare Casadei is among the players looking for a January loan move, with Monza and Feyenoord both interested.

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler speaking to Sky Sports: "We made a few changes because of the schedule and because the players on the bench deserved to play.

"To find one point is very difficult. We've analysed all the games and it's important to believe in the group. They deserve confidence and we try to help them. You have to work for the game and you have to deserve it.

"In the end, we want to win this game after six games of not having this feeling of a win, we have the longing and the desire to feel it again. We are very ambitious and we want to make the supporters proud and give them a present."

What a lovely message. Thank you, E. It's easy to feel like you're speaking into the void over here but this is a great reminder of the power of football!

Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins has scored more Premier League goals against Brighton than he has against any other opponent with six, netting a hat-trick in this exact fixture in a 6-1 win last season.

Watkins scored a brilliant 19 goals last term but has only struck seven times so far this season.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa are without striker Jhon Duran after his appeal against the red card picked up against Newcastle was rejected.

There was plenty of debate around the decision to give Duran a straight red and former England striker Alan Shearer said it was "harsh" on Match of the Day.

"It was a harsh decision. I think the referee guesses based on the reaction of the players. When Duran plants his left foot, he twists his ankle when he puts it down, which automatically pushes you to the left-hand side. He has to come back in which is why he stands on him so I think it's a harsh decision."
