CHELSEA boss Graham Potter faced his old club Brighton in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Saturday.
The Blues were due to take on Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
But the match was postponed due to a lack of police resources following the death of The Queen.
Brighton’s clash with Crystal Palace was also called off.
And the two Premier League sides were keen to head into the international break with some form of action.
So they came together to play a friendly game without any spectators.

None of the Chelsea players that started the 1-1 draw with RB Salzburg on Wednesday featured in the friendly.
And the squad will now disperse as they jet off around the world for games with their national teams.
Potter’s first Premier League match in charge will be on Saturday, October 1 when they travel to Crystal Palace.
The Blues then face AC Milan twice in six days, either side of a home game against Wolves.
