Graham Potter's tactical genius and how it can benefit Chelsea in crunch Premier League matches

Graham Potter's Brighton & Hove Albion side produced a wonderful performance against Manchester United on the opening weekend of the season Rewind to August 7. Erik ten Hag played out his first Premier League match as manager of Manchester United. By the time the game was over, Ten Hag witnessed first-hand what Graham Potter can do.

Brighton outplayed Man United at Old Trafford and won 2-1 on the day. The result itself was very impressive, but what stood out, even more, was Brighton's approach and how a well-thought-out game plan was executed to perfection.

The former Seagulls head coach set up his side in a fluid 3-4-2-1 formation. In spells, it transitioned to a 3-4-3 with the front-line stretching across the pitch to create more width. The wing-backs – in this case, Leandro Trossard and Solly March – often joined Danny Welbeck, the centre-forward, to create a front three.
