Thomas Tuchel says Albion have been handed a “huge” advantage – after complaining about a Tuesday night trip to the Amex. The Chelsea boss delivered a series of moans about scheduling and injury risk after his side drew with the Seagulls almost three weeks ago.
Thomas Tuchel said: “It is very hard to understand. It’s nothing to do with City, but there are three away games in a row. Both Brighton and we have our next game on Sunday, so there was no need to have it on a Tuesday. Actually, Brighton played on Friday so it makes a huge difference (in their favour) also. We have the schedule that we have.
