Opta’s Supercomputer is backing Chelsea to defeat Brighton, with the Blues emerging victorious in 41.1 per cent of their simulations. The Seagulls, though, are unbeaten in their last three top-flight home games against teams starting the day in the top four – and will be full of confidence having just knocked Chelsea out of the FA Cup.

Chelsea take on Brighton at Amex Stadium for the second time in a week, looking to avenge their 1–2 defeat in the FA Cup with a Premier League victory that keeps them among the top four in the standings.

Chelsea can claim immediate revenge for last weekend's FA Cup defeat as they face Brighton for the second time in six days in this English Premier League clash. Last Saturday's fourth-round matchup ended in a 2-1 win for the Seagulls.
