Chelsea’s trip to the South Coast to face Brighton has been brought forward and will now take place on Tuesday 18 January at 8pm (UK time).

The Blues were originally set to face the Seagulls at the Amex Stadium on February 8 but that game was postponed due to our involvement in the upcoming Club World Cup.

The fixture will now take place later this month and will be broadcast live on BT Sport.

Should both sides be involved in rearranged FA Cup third round ties, then this game will be postponed once again.

Ticket details will be confirmed once we have received the tickets from Brighton.
