Brighton
- Chelsea remain without their long-list of absent players for this one, which includes the likes of Christopher Nkunku, Romeo Lavia, Reece James and Noni Madueke.
- Serbian goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic could be handed his first Chelsea start.
- Nicolas Jackson will miss the meeting with Fulham next week after he received his fifth yellow card of the campaign against Aston Villa, so may lead the line with Armando Broja again featuring from the bench.
- Brighton's long-term absentees Julio Enciso and Jakub Moder remain ruled out here, while James Milner and Pascal Gross are doubts for the clash.
