Hughton insists Brighton capable of defeating Chelsea

Brighton boss Chris Hughton insists they're capable of defeating Chelsea.

Albion lost narrowly at Burnley on Saturday, while Chelsea's triumph over Manchester City at Stamford Bridge enabled Liverpool to replace the champions at the top of the table.

Hughton told The Argus: "We should do (approach the game with confidence) because we are on the back of a really good performance in our last home game and it was a good enough performance at Burnley to get something.

"It will be a big crowd. If I look at our performances, Tottenham was close, United we were able to beat.

"We will have to pull out the type of performance we have in the past against the big clubs."
