Southampton Predicted XI: Chelsea (H)

Southampton host Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon and the Saints will be looking to get their season back on track. 

Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side have lost six consecutive top-flight matches and an almost relentless spell of injuries have cost the south coast side a host places in the table

Those injury woes have reared once more as Hasenhuttl confirmed in his pre-match press conference that Kyle Walker-Peters will be out for two to three more weeks, whilst Theo Walcott and Ibrahima Diallo are also still absent.

The two played out an entertaining 3-3 draw at Stamford Bridge back in October, however, since then the Blues have had a change in management and with it a turnaround in fortunes. 

Youngster Alex Jankewitz will be available once again after his suspension following an ill-fated debut saw the midfielder dismissed for a straight red card against Manchester United. 

Here’s how we think Hasenhuttl will line his side up…
