TV channel: The game will be broadcast on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Ultra HDR.
A point for the Blues could be enough to keep them there depending on other results later this weekend, although Enzo Maresca will need things to improve.
The Seagulls knocked Chelsea out of the FA Cup last weekend and there is little doubt things have stalled for Maresca over the last few weeks.
Chelsea can ensure they strike an early blow in the battle for the Premier League’s top four away at Brighton later today.
Winning on the south coast would be a way to help get things back on track, albeit that is of course easier said than done.
