Chelsea vs Brighton predicted line-up: Thomas Tuchel to spring Hudson-Odoi surprise and covid update for Timo Werner and Kai Havertz

Thomas Tuchel has a few selection headscratchers ahead of tonight's Premier League clash with Brighton at Stamford Bridge

Thiago Silva and N’Golo Kante will be injury doubts as defender Silva hobbled out of the 3-1 Boxing Day win at Aston Villa with a thigh issue, though Chelsea hope to have caught the problem before a major flare-up.

Kante will be checked for a knee issue, while Timo Werner and Kai Havertz could return after Covid isolation but Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a doubt with a foot injury.

Ben Chilwell's knee problem looks more serious and the England man could miss the remainder of the campaign.
