Team News

Chelsea
Brighton
  • Mauricio Pochettino will be forced into a defensive reshuffle with both Reece James and Marc Cucurella suspended.
  • Malo Gusto is a doubt and Ben Chilwell is out, so Axel Disasi and Levi Colwill should deputise at right and left-back, respectively.
  • Christopher Nkunku is close to a return for the Blues, but Sunday's welcome of Brighton comes a little too soon for the Frenchman.
  • Mahmoud Dahoud remains suspended and is joined on the naughty step by centre-back Lewis Dunk after his red card at Nottingham Forest last week.
  • Roberto De Zerbi has further issues in defence with Tariq Lamptey, Pervis Estupinan and Adam Webster absent.
  • Ansu Fati, Julio Enciso and Danny Welbeck complete the absentee list for the Seagulls.

Prediction

  • Chelsea have been involved in three-successive high-scoring games though were on the receiving end of a 4-1 mauling at Newcastle last week. The Blues remain winless in five at Stamford Bridge in the league and have failed to win in three league meetings with Brighton at Stamford Bridge.
  • The Seagulls booked their spot in the next round of the Europa League with a hard-fought 1-0 win at AEK Athens on Thursday night. Last week's 3-2 win at Nottingham Forest ended a six-game Premier League winless run.
  • Brighton are unbeaten in four on the road in all competitions and that run may continue in west London on Sunday, though the spoils could be shared.
