An all-Premier League FA Cup fourth-round tie takes centre stage at the Amex Stadium as Brighton & Hove Albion play host to Chelsea. The Seagulls will be seeking revenge against the West Londoners after suffering a 4-2 league defeat at Stamford Bridge in their most recent meeting just over four months ago. Premier League victories earlier in the campaign against the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham and Newcastle now seem nothing but distant memories for Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler, who has come under intense criticism from some of the club’s supporters following a humiliating 7-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest last weekend.

The 31-year-old half-heartedly acknowledged the disgruntled Seagulls fans in the away end, who watched their side suffer their heaviest defeat for 67 years and their second-heaviest league loss in their 124-year history against a ruthless Forest outfit, who converted seven of their nine shots on target and had only 37% possession.

Success against Chelsea could prove challenging for Brighton, though, as they have lost each of their last four meetings with the Blues and have come out on top in only one of their last 11 home encounters in all competitions. Having said that, the Seagulls have progressed from five of their last six FA Cup fourth-round ties since securing promotion to the Premier League in 2017, with the exception being a 3-1 defeat at Spurs in 2021-22.

Chelsea, who have now collected 13 points from losing positions this season, capitalised on Man City, Newcastle, Bournemouth and Aston Villa all losing last weekend, as their victory has seen them climb up to fourth in the Premier League table, two clear of the Citizens in fifth.

The West Londoners will face Brighton in their next Premier League match on February 14, but they will first test their mettle against the Seagulls in the FA Cup, with the eight-time winners seeking to advance to the fifth round of the competition for the 26th time in 28 seasons.

Chelsea travel to the Amex without a win in their last four away matches (D2 L2), but they have won seven of their last 11 visits to Brighton in all competitions and have also progressed from their last two FA Cup ties against the Seagulls – winning a fourth-round replay 4-0 in 1966-67 and winning a third-round tie 2-0 in 1972-73.
