Chelsea will host Southampton at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, hoping to take all three points in this league match.
Chelsea: The Blues are coming off a narrow 1-0 defeat against Dortmund in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League in R-16, so they will be eager to get back on track in this home match.
Graham Potter is expected to make a few changes to the starting lineup and use the 4-2-3-1 formation.
However, Marc Cucurella should start, with Ben Chilwell dropping to the bench and Kai Havertz leading the line against Southampton.
Chelsea Predicted XI vs Southampton: 4-2-3-1
Defence
Kepa Arrizabalaga remains in goal for the Blues, who are hoping to keep a clean sheet in their game this weekend. Potter will allow Kalidou Koulibaly to form the traditional center-half partnership with Thiago Silva at the heart of the Blues backline as they look to maintain a solid defensive performance throughout the game.
Midfield
The Blues’ midfield will be led by Enzo Fernandes and Ruben Loftus-Cheek as they look to dominate possession and create chances in the final third.
Mykhaylo Mudryk, Joao Felix, and Hakim Ziyech, a talented trio, will operate just ahead of the holding positions, looking to create some inviting chances in front of goal.
