Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi says they won't be taking Chelsea lightly in tomorrow's Carabao Cup clash.
The Seagulls go into the tie the form team.
But De Zerbi says: "It's not my team and I can't say anything. They deserve more points, watching their games.
"We have big respect for [Mauricio] Pochettino and Chelsea. They have a great squad. It could be a very tough game for us."
De Zerbi admits fit-again Evan Ferguson could feature.
"I've not decided yet about Evan. I'd like him to be able to play at his best. On Sunday (against Bournemouth) he wasn't in his best physical condition, but he wanted to play.
"We have to think of ourselves and organise the first 11 to play better than the last game.
"In the first half, wasn't very good."
