Hello and welcome to live coverage of Brighton v Chelsea in the FA Cup fourth round. Tonight’s game is the first of a Brighton v Chelsea double bill at the Amex Stadium, with the two sides facing each other again in the league on Valentine’s day.

The home side will be keen to bounce back after their humiliating 7-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest in the league. The Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler said: “We still think we are on a good path and one game shouldn’t define our season or our whole team.”

Brighton will need a big performance to beat Chelsea. Chelsea have won their last four games against the club, starting in September 2023 after the Clearlake Capital consortium spent £225 million on Brighton players and coaching staff. Chelsea haven’t looked entirely convincing as of late, scraping past West Ham in their last league game, so tonight’s match is an intriguing one.

preamble
Hello, welcome to Brighton v Chelsea live coverage in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Tonight's match was the first of the Brighton v. Chelsea Double Building at Amex Stadium, facing each other once again in the Valentine's Day league.
The home side wants to bounce back after a humiliating 7-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest in the league. “We're still on a good path and we don't think one game should define a season or an entire team,” said Fabian Hürzeller, Brighton's manager.
Brighton needs a big performance to beat Chelsea. Chelsea won their final four matches against the club from September 2023 to September 2023 after the Clear Lake Capital Consortium spent £225 million on Brighton players and coaching staff. Chelsea have been rubbing past West Ham recently in their last league match, which hasn't been completely convincing. So tonight's match is an interesting match.
Stay tuned for the latest news. Kick-off is at 8pm. Please email me your predictions.
