Brighton host Chelsea in Tuesday’s only remaining Premier League fixture after last night’s postponement of Burnley vs Watford.
We look ahead to the clash in detail, as well as putting several potential January transfers under the microscope.
Brighton vs Chelsea
Chelsea head to the South Coast 13 points behind league leaders Manchester City following Saturday’s narrow 1-0 defeat at the Etihad.
While Thomas Tuchel is refusing to rule his side out of the title hunt, it appears the Blues’ race is ran — and things are unlikely to get much easier for them at the Amex tonight.
Graham Potter’s hosts are unbeaten in five matches across all competitions — including a late 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge last month — and will be confident of causing an upset.
One man the visitors will have to keep close tabs on is their former academy star Tariq Lamptey, who has shone for the Seagulls since arriving from the capital two years ago.
We put the flying full-back in the spotlight and ask whether 21-year-old Lamptey is destined for bigger things in the near future.
Meanwhile, it looks like Chelsea could move for a left-back with Ben Chilwell ruled out for the remainder of the campaign.
Will the Blues settle for a loan move or could they be tempted into some permanent business this month? We assess the options.
Along with the above, we have all the key quotes and information on tonight’s contest covered in our match preview.

Ex-Chelsea striker Diego Costa is being linked with a shock switch to Arsenal after ending his stint with Brazilian side Atletico Mineiro.

Anthony Martial is another forward who could be on the move with the United outcast absent from the Red Devils’ squad for the clash against Aston Villa last weekend.
