Mauricio Pochettino’s side appear to have turned a corner of late and are level on points with sixth-placed Newcastle in the battle for Europa League qualification.
The Blues travel to Brighton later on in a huge day in the race for the top six, with Newcastle traveling to eighth-placed Manchester United, who are not out of the race themselves, at the same time.
All three teams could yet finish sixth but it is Chelsea who appear to have the momentum after a run of three consecutive victories.
Fans in the UK, however, will be unable to watch the game live.
Chelsea’s trip to the south coast was originally scheduled for Saturday 20 May and during the 3pm blackout imposed across English football at the time.
It was, however, postponed due to Chelsea’s involvement in the FA Cup semi-finals that weekend and cannot be shown live tonight having not been selected for broadcasters’ limited allocation of games.
