MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Chelsea have won all six of their league game against Brighton by an aggregate score of 12-1.
Brighton are looking for their first victory over Chelsea in any competition since 1933, when they won 2-1 in the FA Cup third round.
The Seagulls have lost the last eight meetings, conceding 18 goals and scoring just once.
Brighton and Hove Albion
Brighton have lost just one of their last 10 Premier League home games (W5, D4), and failed to score in only one of the last 14.
However, four of their five home defeats in the division have come against last season's top six.
Brighton manager Chris Hughton is winless in his last eight meetings with Chelsea.
Glenn Murray's goals have been worth nine points this season, a joint league-high with Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Everton's Richarlison.
Brighton's only shot on target last weekend against Burnley came in the 93rd minute.
Thirteen of Brighton's 19 league goals have come via a set-piece.
Chelsea
Chelsea have lost their last two Premier League away games, having sustained just one defeat in the previous nine (W7, D1).
They began the season with five straight league victories but have only won five of the last 11, drawing four and losing two.
The Blues have used just 20 players in the Premier League in 2018-19 - only Wolves, with 18, have selected fewer.
Eden Hazard has made a league-high eight assists, double the tally he managed in 34 appearances last season.
The Belgian could assist Premier League goals in four consecutive games for the first time.
Kepa Arrizabalaga has not kept consecutive league clean sheets since August 2017 for Athletic Club in La Liga.
However, Chelsea have kept a clean sheet in all five Premier League matches this season following a Europa League fixture.
