Midfield ace feels Brighton are improving on the road away to the top six
The Seagulls lost all six games away to the top Premier League sides last season and have lost all three of their matches away to the top six this season - however they have lost just 2-0 at Manchester City, 1-0 at Liverpool and 2-1 at Manchester United.
Stephens says Albion will go to Chelsea this evening looking to pick up points and said: "I think we’ve improved, especially on last year, going away form home to the top six.

Stephens added Albion's players have not been thinking about the FA Cup semi-final and their full focus is on tonight's game.
He said: "There has been no talk of any cup game and there won’t be until it arrives next Saturday.
"That’s the way it has got to be. We approach one game at a time. We have been saying for a couple of weeks now they are all important, and even more so now we haven’t got a result (against Southampton).
