Southampton vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Line-ups confirmed; how to see

Welcome to a classic midweek trap game as Chelsea, coming off our best game of the season, go Southampton to play against the worst team in the league.

Normally a midweek game would mean mass rotation, but in this case, given the size of the game, Enzo Maresca is going for a more measured approach. We get a Premier League debut for goalkeeper Filip Jörgensen (and he gets a couple of his usual defenders in front of him), while Christopher Nkunku also gets a Premier League start. And we get another chance for the Palmer-Félix double act.

Here we go!

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

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