Brighton enter this game 16th in the Premier League table, probably but not entirely safe from relegation. Graham Potter’s men continue to look defensively solid, securing their 10th clean sheet of the season last time out with a 0-0 draw against Everton. One more win for them would probably be enough to allow them to start planning for their next top-flight campaign.
Fresh from reaching the FA Cup final last week, Chelsea enter this game distracted by their involvement with – and apparent withdrawal from – the mooted Super League as they look to avenge their shock 5-2 loss to West Brom in their last Premier League home game. No doubt some football fans would want that scoreline to be repeated again here.
