Brighton will be keen to take another big step towards European football when they take on Chelsea on Tuesday night.

The Seagulls head into the contest after a disappointing draw with Tottenham, where Georginio Rutter bagged a late equaliser to spare his side’s blushes after an underwhelming display.

Chelsea arrive at the Amex Stadium in poor form, losing their last four Premier League matches without scoring a single goal, and Liam Rosenior will need to get a tune out of his side upon his return to familiar surroundings.

Fabian Hurzeler has a number of tough calls heading into the clash, with the German forced to weigh up rotating his ranks after a hard-fought match over the weekend, or trusting his favoured options before an extended break.
