Fixture: Southampton vs Chelsea
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 12:30 (UK time)
Antonio Conte has named his Chelsea squad that will take on Southampton in a Premier League clash later today at St. Mary’s Stadium.
Conte has gone with a strong line-up with Alvaro Morata leading the line up front and he has Eden Hazard and Willian in support in attack. N'Golo Kane and Cesc Fabregas will form the midfield line-up as the Blues look to dominate the game from the middle of the park on the south coast.
A defensive trio of Andreas Christensen, Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta will look to offer solidity with Davide Zappacosta and Marcos Alonso playing as the wing backs in the system. Ross Barkley, Pedro and Olivier Giroud are some of the options Conte has on the bench today.
With a top four finish looking increasingly unlikely, Conte will be looking forward to seeing his team finish the season properly and look to get three points against a team fighting to survive in the Premier League.
Chelsea Team vs Southampton
Courtois; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Cahill (c); Zappacosta, Kante, Fabregas, Alonso; Willian, Morata, Hazard
