Team News
Southampton
Chelsea
- Romain Perraud returned from injury as a substitute in Southampton's 1-0 defeat to Manchester United on Saturday.
- Ralph Hasenhuttl doesn't really have to make changes here as Southampton have enough time between games to recover.
- Kalidou Koulibaly returns from suspension but now Chelsea have lost Conor Gallagher to a one-match ban after his red card against Leicester.
- Reece James hasn't travelled with the squad so Ruben Loftus-Cheek may have to play at right wing-back again with Cesar Azpilicueta the right-sided centre-back.
- Wesley Fofana still hasn't officially joined Chelsea from Leicester so won't feature here.
- Mateo Kovacic returned from injury in the win over Leicester and will most likely go straight into the side here to replace Gallagher.
Haverz and Pulisic would be sold out. Chelsea just can't play 4-4-2 or 4-3-3.
Sell Havertz! He is so extremely overrated...
@neumi17 tbh, he is being forced to played forward; whereas, he is a CAM.
@tru61ue He showed his best games as a forward. As a CAM he is not creative and dynamic enough and he not good in dribbling.
Hahaha....maybe....maybe...it's time to buy CR7....
All the millions Chelsea have spent and yet they still struggle.
Tuchel out
@Frei98 Roman is not the owner anymore. It ain't happening.
@splint3r I guess Tuchel will resign before world cup.
@ChinaSoccerMan Yes, I forgot he can actually resign :D The question is - will he?
Can't wait for the first game in CL vs Chelsea in Zagreb. Blue vs Blue.
Broja in Havertz out
2-2
1-1 Koulibali MotM
Fight for clean sheet will give us 3 points. Hopefully no mistake from Mendy or Kovacic.
Under 3.5 goals @1.44
