The Blues travel to the relegation-threatened club as they aim to turn around a mediocre run of form that has seen them struggle to score goals
Chelsea are in the midst of a run of three consecutive scoreless games for the first time in their history but they are hoping to put that behind them as they battle for a top-four place in the Premier League.
The champions are 15 points behind leaders Manchester City and have slipped down into fourth place with little chance of retaining their crown.
Brighton, who the Blues tackle on Saturday, are just three points above the relegation zone as they have shown inconsistency in the busy winter period.
