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.
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....
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?
Under 3.5 goals @1.44
Haverz and Pulisic would be sold out. Chelsea just can't play 4-4-2 or 4-3-3.
All the millions Chelsea have spent and yet they still struggle.
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.
