Chelsea may have a headache or two off the pitch at the moment but they should not be too frustrated on the pitch
Chelsea are the heavy favourites at 3/5 with Betfred with Brighton a distant 5/1 while a draw is 3/1.
The Blues have won six of the last seven Premier League meetings with Brighton drawing the other game away at the Amex Stadium.
Rotation will be more than likely after their semi-final success at the weekend against Manchester City but Thomas Tuchel has been able to maintain a consistent work rate from his players since succeeding Frank Lampard.
Meanwhile, Graham Potter will not be pleased to see they have lost six of their seven clashes with the Premier League's current top-six and may be outclassed here.
Tips
Kai Havertz was dropped for the semi-final clash at the weekend and made a 10 minute sub appearance after replacing fellow German Timo Werner.
If Tuchel's rotation wheel keeps on spinning then Havertz has a chance of start and him to score anytime at 9/4 is worth considering.
His style of play and his new found form in a false-nine position will be frustrating for the likes of Lewis Dunk and Ben White.
If Havertz does frustrate the defence then midfielder Yves Bissouma will look to support his teammates which means the Albion lose out on a key player to begin their build-up play.
Along with that and Chelsea finishing 16 of their last 19 matches under 2/5 goals, we can expect another to the tally at 8/11.
