De Zerbi is likely to make a host of changes once more as the Italian juggles his squad to cope with the demands of Premier League, Europa League and Carabao Cup football.
Brighton are going along nicely in the league so and last Sunday's 3-1 win against Bournemouth moved them up to third with five wins from their first six top flight matches.
De Zerbi said: "We have big respect for Chelsea. They have a great squad.

“It will be a very tough game. We have to organise and play better than we did in the last game because in the first half (against Bournemouth) it was not very clear.
“We need the best condition of the players if we want to compete every three days. We have to change the XI and take the best decisions game-by-game.”
Here’s the players ruled-out and those who are doubtful...
