Brighton host Chelsea in the Premier League on Tuesday night, with the Seagulls hoping to record their first ever league win over the Blues.
Chelsea have lost to Brighton just once in history, way back in 1933 in the FA Cup, although the Seagulls have drawn their last two meetings with the west Londoners, so won’t be intimidated.
After defeat to Manchester City at the weekend, Chelsea are now 13 points behind the Premier League leaders and their title challenge looks in tatters, but they will look to keep it just about alive with three points on Tuesday.
When is Brighton vs Chelsea?
The match kicks off at 8pm on Tuesday 18 January at the Amex.
