Brighton welcome Chelsea to the AMEX Stadium for the second time in six days this evening.
Fabian Hurzeler’s side eliminated Chelsea from the FA Cup last weekend with Kaoru Mitoma scoring the winner in a 2-1 victory. The Seagulls host Chelsea again on Valentine’s Day, looking to strengthen their challenge for European football.
Brighton are 10th in the Premier League table and will hope their cup conquest of Chelsea can be the springboard to improved league form. Hurzeler’s side have lost their last two Premier League games, including that 7-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest last time out.

Chelsea arrive in mixed form. The Blues have won just two of their last eight Premier League games, alongside that FA Cup fourth-round defeat a week ago.
