Three days after losing at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester City (1-0) and now trailing 13 lengths from the leader citizen, the Blues move this Tuesday evening to the AMEX Stadium in Brighton as part of the 24th day of Premier League. Deprived of Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Trevor Chalobah and Andreas Christensen, but also of Edouard Mendy, currently at the CAN with Senegal, Chelsea present themselves in their usual 3-4-3.

Stuck in ninth place in the Premier League standings, Brighton will have to do without Lewis Dunk or even the precious Yves Bissouma, also at CAN. Graham Potter lines up a 3-4-3. The Frenchman Neal Maupay is on the bench at kick-off, replaced at the forefront by the heroic striker in the first leg.
Team compositions:
Brighton : Sánchez – Veltman, Webster, Burn, – Lamptey, Gross, Alzate, Cucurella – Moder, Mac Allister, – Welbeck.
