The Blues came from behind to edge past League One side Lincoln 2-1, while the Seagulls were far more ruthless, firing five past Bristol City without reply.
Now the focus returns to the Premier League, where Chelsea will be aiming to extend their unbeaten home run, while Brighton are searching for consistency after a mixed start to their league campaign.
Chelsea v Brighton tips
• Both teams to score - @57/100 with Bet365
• Over 2.5 goals - @57/100 with Bet365
• Moises Caicedo to make 3+ tackles - @2/5 with Bet365
Both teams to score
Chelsea’s defence has shown signs of vulnerability lately, conceding twice in back-to-back league matches for the first time since spring.
Brighton, meanwhile, have found the net in both halves in 12 of their last 13 league games and have conceded in 16 of their last 17 Premier League games.
With both sides carrying attacking threats and the Seagulls rarely keeping clean sheets, goals at both ends looks highly likely.
At 57/100 with Bet365, both teams to score feels like one of the safer bets here.
Tip: Both teams to score @57/100
Bet explanation: This bet wins if both Chelsea and Brighton score at least one goal
Over 2.5 goals
This fixture tends to deliver entertainment with seven of the last eight head-to-heads between these two sides producing three or more goals.
Chelsea have scored in 19 of their last 20 Premier League home games, while Brighton’s expansive style has contributed to them conceding far too often but also threatening regularly in attack.
Given both teams’ profiles, 57/100 with Bet365 on over 2.5 goals looks like a natural pick.
Bet explanation: This bet wins if at least three goals are scored in the game between Chelsea and Brighton.
Moises Caicedo to make 3+ tackles
All eyes will be on Moises Caicedo as he faces his former club, and the statistics suggest he’ll be heavily involved in breaking up play.
The Ecuadorian has made 3+ tackles in each of his last 14 Premier League appearances, and he leads the league in both tackles (21) and interceptions (15) this season.
Brighton’s midfield is energetic and direct, so Caicedo will almost certainly be called into action. At 2/5 with Bet365, this bet looks as reliable as they come.
Tip: Moises Caicedo to make 3+ tackles @2/5
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Moises Caicedo makes at least three tackles against Brighton.
