Team News
Brighton & Hove Albion
Both Adam Lallana and Joel Veltman went off with minor injuries for Brighton at the Etihad last weekend, and while neither have been ruled out, they remain doubtful.

Kaoru Mitoma is back in full training with the side after missing the last two games, but this game could come too soon for the Japanese wide man.

Kalidou Koulibaly's fitness will be assessed before the trip to the coast for Chelsea, as the defender missed the midweek Champions League encounter.
Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup:
Sanchez; Veltman, Dunk, Webster; March, Caicedo, Mac Allister, Estupinan; Gross, Trossard, Welbeck

Chelsea
Koulibaly returned to training the day after the Salzburg game, but it is touch and go whether he will be fit enough here.

Mateo Kovacic was taken off as a precaution in midweek, feeling some discomfort in his calf, but he should be okay to be a part of the setup this weekend.

Kepa Arrizabalaga continues to keep Edouard Mendy out of the side in goal, having not put a foot wrong since he was drafted in following an injury to the Senegalese keeper early in the season.

Serious injuries to N'Golo Kante, Reece James and Wesley Fofana mean that the trio will not play again until after the World Cup at the very least.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Kepa; Azpilicueta, Chalobah, Thiago Silva; Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Kovacic, Chilwell; Mount, Sterling, Aubameyang
Prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 0-0 Chelsea
