THE Blues face Southampton at Stamford Bridge in just under an hour, and the teams are in!
There were always going to be some interesting selections today given we’re coming off a World Cup break, but this looks to be close to Graham Potter’s favourite team.
Kepa is fit to play in goal, Reece James is fit to play at right back, with Marc Cucurella playing ahead of the clearly not fit Ben Chilwell at left back.
Kalidou Koulibaly and Thiago Silva are the central 4 in the back four.
Further forward, it looks to be a midfield 3 of Jorginho, Mason Mount and Denis Zakaria. They will support a front line of Raheem Sterling and Christian Pulisic flanking Kai Havertz up top.
There is a host of young talent on the bench and not much else – making it very likely we see some wonderkids in action later on today.
Here are the full team line-ups for Chelsea vs Bournemouth (kick off at 17:30 pm GMT)
