Preview

Chelsea will be looking to continue their recent good form when they travel to the Amex Stadium. The Blues have won their last four Premier League games and are now just one point behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur.

Brighton, meanwhile, has had a more mixed season. The Seagulls are currently 10th in the table, but they have won just one of their last five games.

This match could be a crucial one for both teams. Chelsea needs to win to keep their hopes of finishing in the top four alive. Brighton, on the other hand, needs to win to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle.
