Southampton will be hoping to spring a surprise when they travel to Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea on Wednesday night.
The Saints have endured two defeats in recent times at the hands of West Ham and Manchester City respectively.
Maurizio Sarri’s side, meanwhile, are in good form and head into the game on the back of a narrow 1-0 win away at Crystal Palace, courtesy of a rare goal from N’Golo Kante.
Ralph Hasenhuttl rested plenty of key players as Southampton were well-beaten by Manchester City on Sunday, indicating that changes will again be made ahead of the team’s trip to West London.
The Austrian will, however, be hindered by some absentees. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg begins his four-game suspension and question marks surround the fitness of Michael Obafemi and Ryan Bertrand respectively.
Southampton remain dangerously low on the Premier League table and will be desperate to clinch a shock win on Wednesday. Here is our predicted line-up.
