Chelsea to Sneak Through to Round Five

Brighton are having a topsy-turvy season under new boss Fabian Hurzeler. The Seagulls are chasing a European spot, sitting tenth on 34 points. They have won eight, drawn ten, and lost six in the league. Brighton lost 7-0 at Nottingham Forest last time out.

In the third round of the FA Cup, Albion eased to victory over EFL Championship side Norwich City. Georginio Rutter (2), Julio Enciso, and Solly March were on target in the 4-0 win at Carrow Road.

Securing a top-four spot is Chelsea’s priority this season. However, they are through to the knockout phase of the UEFA Conference League and are looking to go far in the FA Cup. The Blues thumped Morecambe 5-0 at Stamford Bridge in round three.

After losing at Manchester City, Enzo Maresca’s men got back to winning ways on Monday, beating rivals West Ham United 2-1 at the Bridge. The Londoners have lost just one of their last six in all competitions.
