Chelsea’s last league win came on Boxing Day against Aston Villa, and the side has since failed to win any of its last three EPL matches. Draws against Brighton and Liverpool weren't ideal, but defeat against Man City at the weekend dealt what may have been a killer blow to their title hopes. Granted, those results were sandwiched between an EFL semi-final victory against Spurs across two legs and a 5-1 demolition of Chesterfield in the FA Cup — so it's not all bad.
Manager Thomas Tuchel will be keen to end this mini-winless run, and also avenge the heartbreaking 1-1 draw the side suffered last time out against Brighton. In that match, the Seagulls equalized in the 91st minute, a goal which seriously dented Chelsea’s title-winning chances. The Blues will be without some key players in this match including Andreas Christensen, Trevoh Chalobah, Reece James and long-term absentee Ben Chilwell, who’s expected to miss the remainder of the season.
After a strong start that saw Brighton among the clubs pushing for European qualification, they've now slid down the table and find themselves just inside the top 10. This is probably where most people expected them to be at this stage in the season, so it’s certainly not a failure by manager Graham Potter.
Brighton haven’t lost in four EPL games and will hope to keep that run going against this inconsistent Chelsea side. The Seagulls have been hit with a handful of injury blows, though: Shane Duffy, Lewis Dunk and Adam Lallana will all miss this one, which could have a serious impact on the side's ability to prevent Chelsea from scoring.
Here's how they line up:
Brighton: Sanchez, Veltman, Webster, Burn, Lamptey, Gross, Alzate, Cucurella, Moder, Mac Allister, Welbeck.
Chelsea: Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Rudiger, Hudson-Odoi, Kante, Jorginho, Alonso, Ziyech, Mount, Lukaku.
