A huge clash is approaching as Brighton and Hove Albion and Chelsea go head to head in the Premier League and we have all the information you need to know ahead of kick-off.
The two sides have already met in this competition at Stamford Bridge, and the Seagulls managed to get a draw thanks to a last minute equaliser from Danny Welbeck.
With the fixtures becoming huge for both sides as they look to climb the table, getting a win with one of their games in hand would give them both a good morale boost, so there is a lot at stake.
Despite Chelsea losing recently to Manchester City, they have been on decent form in the last couple of weeks, so it will be very interesting to see the encounter between the south coast rivals.

Chelsea take on Brighton on Tuesday 18th January 2022 at the Amex stadium. The match will start at 8:00pm UK time.

This game was a very close contest earlier this season and Chelsea need to be at their best if they want to get the win. What we do know is that this game should be a really entertaining spectacle and there should be a fair few goals on the night.
