The Premier League is back this weekend after a long international break.
Chelsea were quite lucky in the grand scheme of things, it looks like they have only lost out on Edouard Mendy and Thiago Silva from the stint.
Mendy has a small injury, and Silva won’t play after having 90 minutes later in the week for Brazil.
However, we have to be thankful, as with our luck with injuries recently it could have been a lot worse.
Ben Chilwell, Christian Pulisic, and Hakim Ziyech are all in the squad, and N’Golo Kante trained yesterday as well which is positive signs.
Frank Lampard has confirmed Edouard Mendy is not fit, won't be long. Thiago Silva not ready because of Brazil game, not injured.
Chilwell, Pulisic, and Hakim Ziyech in the squad. Ziyech will start from the bench.

With that in mind, here is my predicted Xl to start the game against Southampton tomorrow.
Chelsea Xl (4-3-3) –
Kepa, Azpilicueta, Zouma, Tomori, Chilwell. Kante, Kovacic, Havertz. Pulisic, Mount, Werner.
I believe some of the lads who played for their countries this week may get a rest, but others will be needed to start.
