Chelsea return to FA Cup action tonight when they head to the south coast to face Brighton at the Amex Stadium.
The Blues are looking to make it back-to-back wins in all competitions after the 2-1 win over West Ham on Monday night. In the previous round of the FA Cup, Enzo Maresca’s side came away as 5-0 winners against League Two side Morecambe, setting up tonight’s all-Premier League tie.
Last season, Chelsea made it to the semi-finals before being knocked out by Manchester City. Bernardo Silva’s goal separated the sides at Wembley, before Pep Guardiola’s team went on to lose the final to rivals Manchester United.
