Chelsea welcome Southampton to Stamford Bridge this weekend in the Premier League with the home side seeking a much-needed win to end their recent struggles.
Another poor display was on show for the Blues in midweek against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League Round of 16 tie with the German side securing a 1-0 win on home soil.

CHELSEA’S PREDICTED LINE UP (FORMATION)

Kepa remains the man between the goalposts for the Blues with Graham Potter unable to call upon the No.2 Edouard Mendy who is sidelined with a finger injury.
In the backline, veteran Thiago Silva is likely to find a partner in Kalidou Koulibaly who put out a convincing display on his return to the squad against Dortmund.
Chelsea’s midfield could have Mateo Kovacic earning a recall to partner new boy Enzo Fernandez with the former expected to replace Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
With the attacking department failing to impress, Graham Potter is expected to ring in changes to his front line and Kai Havertz could be giving way for Mason Mount.
