Moses, Leon Balogun aim for starting shirts for Chelsea, Brighton

Former Super Eagles winger, Victor Moses will be hoping to get the nod of Chelsea coach, Maurizio Sarri as the team face Bournemouth on Saturday at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.

The 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner has been kept on the bench after featuring in Chelsea’s opening Premier League 3-0 win over Huddersfield on August 11.

Moses was an unused substitute in the Blues 3-2 win over London rivals, Arsenal and hard-fought 2-1 win over ‘stubborn’ Newcastle last weekend.

The Nigeria international will be hoping Sarri consider him for Saturday’s Clash against Bournemouth.

Meanwhile, Leon Balogun will be aiming for another time on the starting line up of Brighton as they host Fulham on Saturday.

Balogun had a memorable debut when he came on the early part of the first for Brighton’s injured player in their 3-2 win over Manchester United a fortnight ago.
