Simon Rusk’s men sit fifth in the table ahead of tonight’s contest with the Lancashire side, and drew 0-0 with Valencia in the Premier League International Cup in their last outing.
Before that, a stunning strike from Peter Gwargis had sealed a 1-0 win over Arsenal on the south coast in Premier League 2 Division 1, and the Swede was also on target a week earlier in a 1-1 draw away to Wolves at Compton Park.
Tonight’s opposition come into the game off the back of a 3-2 win away to Newcastle United in their last outing in the Premier League International Cup, while the side’s last league contest was a 3-1 win over Leicester City in the middle of last month.
Let's hope for a better result tonight after Rovers youngsters beat us 3-5 in the reverse fixture already this season .
Dominic Samuel and Chapman both scored twice, as Rovers Under-23s came back from 3-1 down to defeat 10-man Brighton 5-3 at the Amex in the last meeting back in August.
Goals from Max Sanders and Taylor Richards saw the hosts lead 2-0, before Chapman halved the deficit in fine style on the stroke of half-time.
Bojan Radulovic restored Brighton's two-goal advantage on 53 minutes, before Seagulls skipper Sanders was given his marching orders moments later.
A quickfire double from Samuel, who was making just his second appearance after 12 months out injured, drew Rovers level, before Sam Barnes headed the visitors in front and Chapman completed the comeback in added time.
