Chelsea go up against Southampton in the Premier League with Thomas Tuchel’s men hoping to carry on their recent winning ways.
The Blues secured the three points up for grabs with a brace from new boy Raheem Sterling clinching the 2-1 win over Leicester City over the weekend.
Let us now have a look at how Thomas Tuchel might set up his Chelsea side against Southampton –
3-4-2-1
Edouard Mendy will start between the goalposts for Chelsea with a minor reshuffle expected in the defensive lineup with Kalidou Koulibaly available after suspension.
Koulibaly should make his way back into the XI with Trevoh Chalobah, who deputized for the former last time around, in line to give way.
In the heart of the midfield, Conor Gallagher’s suspension opens the door for Ruben Loftus-Cheek to partner up with Jorginho once again with Reece James and Marc Cucurella in the wing-back slots.
Kai Havetrz looks likely to lead the line once again despite his recent dip in form with the German expected to have Raheem Sterling and Mason Mount for company.
