Chelsea face Southampton at Stamford Bridge in just under an hour, and the teams are in!
The game comes only a few days after our draining win over Tottenham, so changes were necessary and expected.
Callum Hudson-Odoi comes into the team for Mason Mount on the wing. Jorginho comes in for the suspended Mateo Kovacic and Emerson replaces Marcos Alonso at left wing back. Chelsea stick with the 3 at the back that served them well in the last game against Spurs.
Cesar Azpilicueta picked up a knock in that game, but he’s kept his place on the right, with Reece James surprisingly left out.
