The Blues are under some pressure after losing two of their last three league games, as they welcome the champions to west London
Chelsea recovered from a bad run of form after their impressive 2-0 win against the Premier League champions at Stamford Bridge, but Maurizio Sarri will be keen to avoid complacency against Brighton.
The Italian has repeatedly complained of a 'strange mentality' and 'lack of determination' from his players and was most angry with his team's performance in an away defeat to Wolves.
He is keen to capitalise on the win over Man City, to win against teams outside the top six but Chris Hughton's side will be tough opposition due to their impressive start to the season sitting in mid-table.
