Hello and welcome to football.london for live coverage of Liam Rosenior's pre-match press conference this afternoon.
Chelsea make the trip down to the south coast and to the Amex Stadium to take on Brighton in the Premier League. After losing to Manchester United on Saturday evening, their fourth on the bounce in the top-flight, anything but a victory against the Seagulls will effectively end their Champions League qualification hopes.
They are already slim, after Liverpool's win yesterday afternoon at Everton saw them extend the gap between them and Chelsea to seven points. We will hear more from Rosenior on the race to qualify for Europe's elite competition, as well as the latest injury news.
Joao Pedro missed Saturday's match due to a minor thigh injury, while Estevao Willian and Enzo Fernandez both came off at Stamford Bridge after feeling some pain. Bobby Vincent is live at Chelsea's training centre in Cobham throughout the afternoon to bring you word-for-word updates from Rosenior's press conference (due to start at 1:30pm UK time).
