BRIGHTON and Chelsea rematch last week’s FA Cup tie in HUGE Friday night Premier League clash.
The Seagulls knocked out Enzo Maresca’s side from the FA Cup last weekend after a controversial Kaoru Mitoma winner was enough to see the south coast side through.
The Blues have endured a mixed start to 2025 but still sit inside the top four, heading back to the Amex for the second time in six days weeks.
Fabian Hurzeler will be pleased to have made the next round of the FA Cup, but this fixture is their first in the league since a resounding 7-0 thrashing at the City Ground by the hands of high-flying Nottingham Forest.
