Maurizio Sarri has somewhat surprisingly named the same Chelsea team that beat Manchester City last weekend for their clash at Brighton.Olivier Giroud appeared to be a shoe-in to start the game especially after Alvaro Morata sustained a knee injury during the Blues’ Europa League draw at Vidi on Thursday night.

However, it looks like star player Eden Hazard will play in the false 9 position like he did against City, with Pedro and Willian supporting him in attack.On his team selection, Sarri said:“In Napoli I was used to playing with a solution like this [a front three without a traditional number nine]. This is very important for us, to have continuity or it is impossible to stay in the top four.“It is important to stay very close to the top four. I want to see continuity from the mental point of view and the tactical point of view. We need to get 80 points to get into the top four.”There are also only places on the bench for England internationals Ross Barkley and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Meanwhile, Brighton welcome back Glenn Murray to their starting line-up after the striker returned from a shoulder injury.Brighton: Ryan, Montoya, Balogun, Dunk, Bernardo, Gross, Stephens, Propper, Knockaert, Murray, MarchSubs: Saltor, Bong, Kayal, Bissouma, Locadia, Andone, SteeleChelsea: Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic, Pedro, Hazard, WillianSubs: Fabregas, Barkley, Loftus-Cheek, Caballero, Giroud, Christensen, Emerson Palmieri
