Chelsea's trip to Brighton on Tuesday February 8 and the home match with Arsenal on February 12 were postponed due to Chelsea's commitments in the UAE. However, Thomas Tuchel's side have already played that rearranged Brighton game on Tuesday January 18, drawing 1-1, so they are technically missing just one game which will be rearranged in due course.
