Chelsea are likely to make changes for the visit of Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Frank Lampard's Blues are preparing to welcome the Reds to Stamford Bridge this weekend for an FA Cup Third Round tie.
They haven't been helped by an illness sweeping through the camp this week, ruling out a number of players.
Though, Lampard, who is ill himself, has been planning to make changes in any case on the back of a busy festive period.
That's according to assistant Jody Morris, who said in today's press conference: "We'll look at how the lads are feeling.
"After all the games, you've got to utilise the squad.
"I'm sure there will be a few changes from the Brighton game but how many I'm not sure just yet."
Despite the changes, Chelsea are taking the tie and indeed the competition seriously.
"It's a prestigious competition," Morris added. "Whatever competition you enter you should try to look and go as far as you possibly can.
"Obviously there is a balancing act at the same time when you have those amount of games but the manager will want to pick a team that wants to go out against Forest and win the game."
