You? Again? Yes indeed, you again as Chelsea FC visits Brighton & Hove Albion for the second time in just six days. Familiarity breeds contempt, as they say. And with this match taking place on St. Valentine’s Day, well, there is no love lost here. You also always have the storylines of Marc Cucurella and Moises Caicedo whenever these two sides get together.
After all, both were Seagulls who recently became Blues.
