Chelsea produced only their second win from a losing position in the Premier League on Sunday, as their 2-1 away victory at Cardiff City eased mounting pressure on their manager Maurizio Sarri.
The club's away fans had turned against Sarri and were chanting "Sarri Out" before Cesar Azpilicueta and Ruben Loftus-Cheek turned around the result, with the help of several controversial refereeing decisions.
Brighton's defeat at home to Southampton, meanwhile, has dragged them into a relegation battle, and they will be aiming to provide a shock at Stamford Bridge to aid their hopes of avoiding the drop.
