Albion have been handed a time and date for their home game with Chelsea.

They will face Liam Rosenior’s side on Tuesday, April 21 with an 8pm kick-off.

The game will be shown live by Sky Sports.

It has been brought forward due to Chelsea’s involvement in the following weekend’s FA Cup semi-finals.

Th game will see Albion skipper Lewis Dunk return to availability after a two-match ban.

Similar re-arrangement will be needed for the trip to Leeds United if they beat Chelsea in the semis.

The final takes place on the weekend when Albion are due at Elland Road in the Premier League.

The new date means Albion will face Chelsea three days after their trip to Spurs.

That game kicks off at 5.30pm on Saturday and is immediately followed by Chelsea v Manchester United at 8pm.

Albion will then prepare for the trip to Newcastle on Saturday, May 2.

Seagulls fans saw their side win twice at home to Chelsea last season and enjoyed a 3-1 success at Stamford Bridge earlier this term.
