Chelsea face Southampton at Stamford Bridge in just under an hour, and the teams are in!
After two defeats in a row, Thomas Tuchel has had serious concerns for perhaps the first time in his spell as Chelsea boss. The manager has been forced to make changes, both by form and injury.
Trevoh Chalobah gets a well deserved start, replacing Andras Christensen at the back.
Azpi stays at right wing back with Reece James out, while Ben Chilwell slot in on the left for his first start of the season.
There’s a start for Ruben Loftus-Cheek alongside Mateo Kovacic in midfield, and Callum Hudson-Odoi gets a long awaited go in the front three with Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku.
This is the team a lot of fans wanted to see, and about as good as it gets without Mason Mount or N’Golo Kante. Let’s go and turn this bad form around.
Here are the full team line-ups for Chelsea vs Southampton (kick off at 15:00 pm GMT)
