The two sides have already met in this competition at Stamford Bridge, and the Seagulls managed to get a draw thanks to a last minute equaliser from Danny Welbeck.
With the fixtures becoming huge for both sides as they look to climb the table, getting a win with one of their games in hand would give them both a good morale boost, so there is a lot at stake.
Despite Chelsea losing recently to Manchester City, they have been on decent form in the last couple of weeks, so it will be very interesting to see the encounter between the south coast rivals.
