Goalkeeper and Defence


GK – Robert Sanchez – the Spaniard returns to his former club, and a clean sheet would not go amiss. Chelsea last kept one in the league against Brentford in mid-January!

RB – Malo Gusto – Reece James is still recovering from a hamstring injury, so the 22-year-old will keep his place.

CB – Wesley Fofana – his absence from the pitch led to Man Utd’s winner on Saturday.

CB – Trevoh Chalobah – the 26-year-old is back available after coming on against United. His experience could prove to be invaluable at the Amex.

LB – Marc Cucurella – the left-back gets booed relentlessly every time he returns to Brighton.
