Chelsea, meanwhile, arrive under pressure after a fourth straight defeat, losing 1-0 to Manchester United. They have now gone four matches without scoring, a run that has stalled their push up the table.
Brighton have also held the upper hand in recent meetings, winning the last three, including a 3-1 result earlier this season.
Injuries could influence the contest, with Kaoru Mitoma a doubt for the hosts, while Chelsea are monitoring Enzo Fernandez.
With Brighton creating chances and Chelsea needing a response, this sets up a match with clear stakes for both sides.
