However, attentions must now turn to domestic matters as Chelsea look to build on last weekend’s routine win over Brighton – which was Frank Lampard’s first league victory at Stamford Bridge since arriving as manager in the summer.

Chelsea currently sit ninth in the Premier League table having won just three of their seven games so far but victory on the South Coast tomorrow would see them move level on points with third-placed Leicester.

However, Southampton are also desperate for points as they look to move clear of the relegation zone with the Saints just one point clear of 18th place so this won’t be an easy game for Chelsea.

Team news
Lampard will assess N’Golo Kante after he returned from an ankle injury in midweek but the Frenchman is expected to be passed fit to retain his place in the Chelsea midfield tomorrow afternoon.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek remains out with an Achilles injury while Emerson Palmieri (thigh), Antonio Rudiger (groin) are also still on the sidelines.

As for Southampton, they’ll be without Cedric Soares due to a muscle injury that he sustained last weekend while Moussa Djenepo is also ruled out with a hip injury.

Injury ravaged Chelsea like this is way better than my Man U top 11 squad.

I don't get what's happening to us and Tottenham lately.

Tottenham players are experiencing discord within the rank and file... Man United doesn't have an attack line for now.... Any further questions??!

There was a rumor that one of the player slept with Erickson's wife couple with the uncertainty of some of their player's future, as they refuse to extend or sign new contract.

Good....


This is certainly going to be our preferred lineup. We are almost there. Good job Super Frankie

Even with David, Paul, Daniel, James et al, at manchester united, they can't do anything because they are dining with the Devil (RED DEVIL).

O Ye plastic City fans! Were it not for the recent instant successes, I do not think anyone out of the ordinary would come out to self-identify as a City fan. Indeed, success has many friends.

We're watching you all... Meanwhile, MODs, please attend to this man so that we can follow football threads in peace.
