After a dull fortnight where international football dominated proceedings, the Premier League resumes today.
For Chelsea, it means a second consecutive home game with the opposition being Southampton.
The Chelsea support will be hoping that a similar result is forthcoming to the previous game where Crystal Palace were walloped 4-0.
But we are at the time of the season where the fixtures are coming thick and fast.
Hard on the heels of this game, Chelsea start their Champions League campaign, on Tuesday evening, when Sevilla visit Stamford Bridge.
Could the busy schedule affect Frank Lampard’s thinking when it comes to the announcement of the Chelsea starting eleven?
With the traditional 15:00 hours Saturday kick-off fast approaching, we are now able to reveal the team-sheets.
Starting with Chelsea:
Your Chelsea team to take on Southampton! 💪#CHESOU pic.twitter.com/1XmVkHdK1f

This draw feels like a loss.
Solely on Frank Lampard….
This guy is NOT a winner.
If Chelsea needs to win… Find another coach.
If Chelsea wants to play a more direct better football, keep lampard…
The Match would have been sealed in the first half..
Yet Chelsea were begging for a draw by the end of second half…
Havertz, Mount, Pulisic, Werner were tired and out of the game…
Lampard left till 70+ to make a change..
Remove Kai, Mount, Werner… Bring in Tammy, Odoi, and Reece… Put Reece in the midfield.
Am so livid against Lampard…
Lampard took 2 points off from us…
Yeah! It’s definitely Lampard the culprit for this draw that really feels like a loss. I wonder when is he going to get that defence to stop being porous.
