Chelsea's Pursuit of a Continental Return
After a disappointing campaign that saw them miss out on European qualification, Chelsea are determined to make a swift return to the continental stage. With a reinvigorated squad led by new manager Graham Potter, the Blues have won their last three league matches and are looking to extend their winning streak at the Amex on Wednesday.
Brighton's European Woes
Brighton, on the other hand, are still reeling from their exit from the Europa League at the group stage. Roberto De Zerbi's side were eliminated after a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Real Betis in their final match. The Seagulls will be looking to bounce back from that setback and make a statement against Chelsea.
Injury and Suspension Concerns
Both teams will have to navigate injuries and suspensions heading into this crucial clash. Chelsea are without N'Golo Kante and Wesley Fofana, while Brighton are missing Neal Maupay and Yves Bissouma.
