Southampton vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Live blog; highlights

Welcome to a basic midweek lure recreation, as in-form Chelsea, coming off of our greatest recreation of the season, go to Southampton to play the league’s worst group.

Usually, a midweek match would imply mass rotation, however on this case, given the magnitude of the sport, Enzo Maresca goes for a extra measured strategy. We do get a Premier League debut for goalkeeper Filip Jörgensen (and he will get a few his typical defenders in entrance of him), whereas Christopher Nkunku will get a Premier League begin as effectively. And we get one other probability for the Palmer-Félix double act.

Right here we go!

Southampton beginning XI:
Lumley | Walker-Peters, Bree, Stephens (c), Wooden, Manning, Fernandes, Aribo, Armstrong, Fraser, Archer

Substitutes from: McCarthy, Edwards, Sugawara, Taylor, Cornet, O’Brien-Whitmarsh, Amo-Ameyaw, Brereton Díaz, Kamaldeen
