Fixture: Southampton vs Chelsea
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 16:00 (UK time)
Chelsea have announced their team and substitutes for this afternoon's Premier League clash away at Southampton as they look to make up ground on the league leaders.
The Blues have 19 points from their nine games so far, four fewer than joint leaders Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City. Victory for Chelsea would take them into fourth spot, past Tottenham Hotspur.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte goes with a back three of Cesar Azpilicueta, Gary Cahill and David Luiz, while Victor Moses and Marcos Alonso operate as the wing-backs. N'Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic will look to control midfield, while Pedro Rodriguez, Diego Costa and Eden Hazard provide the attacking threat.
On the bench, Conte can turn to Michy Batshuayi if he needs to bring on another striker, while Oscar and Willian are other attacking options. Experienced head John Terry is also amongst the substitutes.
