Chelsea go to Brighton tonight needing victory to ease their Premier League 2 relegation concerns.

Chelsea are back in control of their own destiny following Leeds United's loss earlier in the week. With the PL2 season slowly coming to an end, the young Blues still have the matter of survival to deal with. The team's second loss on the bounce inflicted by Everton last week has left them lying second from bottom, just above already-relegated Derby County.

PL2 captain Bashir Humphreys, recently back from injury, has explained that he maintains full belief in the coaching and his team-mates to manoeuvre their way to safety.

He told chelseafc.com: "It has been a tough season for the team and for me personally. We are not where we want to be as a team, and it is up to us to execute the plan to get us to safety.

"The season started well for me. I even went off to play with England but then just like that I got injured and was out for four months or so."

Humphreys added: "While I've been out, I have seen Alfie Gilchrist, Lewis Baker, Xavier Simons and Harvey Vale all have the armband, so to be trusted with this responsibility following my return back, I was truly surprised.

"Nonetheless, I want to be a good leader and the way I know how is to execute the manager's instructions and lead by example. None of us want to be in the position that we are in but I trust in the coaching and the team. We have the ability to steer ourselves to safety."
