The hosts come into this clash after snatching a last-gasp equaliser away at Tottenham on Saturday evening to earn a 2-2 draw.

That point has strengthened the Seagulls' push for a European qualification spot, not to mention it means that they have lost just one of their last seven top-flight fixtures.

What' more, a win on Tuesday night would see Fabian Hurzeler's side leapfrog Chelsea in the Premier League table.

The pressure intensified on Blues boss Liam Rosenior’s side after slumping to a 1-0 home defeat against Manchester United on Saturday night.

That latest setback means the capital club have now lost each of their last four Premier League matches and, perhaps even more concerning, have failed to score in any of those defeats.

How the bookies view it: More Blues for Chelsea

The match odds suggest Brighton could be set to pile more misery on Chelsea on Tuesday night, with a home win trading at 29/20 with bet365.

As for the visitors, they are marginal outsiders at 13/8 on bet365, while an all square affair at the Amex has been priced up at 14/5 with the same bookmaker.

Head-to-head: History against the hosts

Across 22 previous clashes in all competitions, Chelsea have emerged victorious on 11 occasions, while Brighton have triumphed six times and the other five meetings have ended level.

This season's reverse fixture saw Brighton claim a 3-1 win at Stamford Bridge. The same scoreline on Tuesday night is trading at a towering 20/1 on bet365.

Players to watch: Count on Cucurella

Having committed multiple fouls in seven of his last 11 top-flight outings, Marc Cucurella looks good value at even-money (1/1) to overstep the mark at least twice during this contest.

Jack Hinshelwood has been fouled at least once in five of his last eight Premier League outings, including Saturday's 2-2 draw away at Tottenham. With that in mind, the Brighton midfielder looks worthy of support to be brought down at least once on Tuesday night at 5/4 on bet365.

Predicted line-ups

Diego Gomez suffered a potentially season-ending injury in Brighton's 2-2 draw with Tottenham at the weekend. The Paraguayan joins Adam Webster, James Milner and Stefanos Tzimas on the sidelines, however Lewis Dunk is back in contention after serving a suspension.

Both Enzo Fernandez and Estevao were forced off against Manchester United on Saturday, with the latter almost certain to miss out here. Joao Pedro was a notable absentee at the weekend, but he is expected to return to face his former club on Tuesday night.

Brighton: Verbruggen; Wieffer, Dunk, Van Hecke, Kadioglu; Gross, Ayari; Minteh, Rutter, Hinshelwood; Welbeck

Chelsea: Sanchez; Gusto, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Palmer, Pedro, Neto; Pedro

MFT's X-pert tip: Both teams to score

Brighton vs Chelsea points towards goals at both ends based on consistent scoring and concession trends.

Brighton have scored 45 and conceded 39 across 33 games, with both teams to score landing in 69% of home matches. They average 1.50 goals per home game but have kept just three clean sheets at home, a 19% rate, which shows clear defensive vulnerability despite steady attacking output.

Chelsea’s away profile strengthens the case. They score 1.88 goals per away game, the highest in the league, and both teams to score has landed in 69% of their away matches. They have also conceded 21 goals in 16 away games, which limits their clean sheet potential.

Recent form aligns. Across the last 10, Chelsea games have seen 60% both teams to score, while Brighton remain consistent scorers.

With both sides producing goals and neither showing strong defensive control, the data supports both teams scoring.

Anything else catch the eye?

Brighton will surely smell blood against Chelsea on Tuesday night, so the hosts could be worth siding with to score two or more goals at even-money on bet365.

The in-form Seagulls have struck at least twice in five of their last seven top-flight outings, including each of the previous three.

That doesn't bode well for a toiling Chelsea team that shipped three goals away at Everton in their last Premier League road trip.
