Brighton moderator Chelsea tonight for the second weekend in a row.
The clubs met last Saturday in the fourth FA Cup round, whereby the seagulls scored 2-1 winners thanks to the gates of Georginio Rutter and Kaoru.
It was a welcome victory for Boss Fabian Hurzeler, who came under pressure after some indifferent services that were beaten in Nottingham Forest on February 1st in Nottingham Forest.
Chelsea was also not in great form. The Enzo Maresca team has won three of their last 10 games in all competitions, but is still fourth in the Premier League and has worked well in the Champions League of the next season.
