Filip Jorgensen Is Starting Again | 4-2-3-1 Chelsea Predicted Lineup vs Southampton | OneFootball

Once a title contender, Chelsea are now struggling to find a spot in the top four. They faced a 2-1 defeat by the hands of Aston Villa and are now preparing to host Southampton at home in the Premier League.

The Blues are seventh on the points table and cannot afford to drop more points. They need to get back on track and gain the needed confidence, especially before their semi-final round of the Europa Conference League.

Defence

Robert Sanchez will surely be in the race for the gloves role after Filip Jorgensen‘s blunder against the Villans. However, the latter might find himself lucky to start another game. Right-back Malo Gusto is likely to keep his position in the side.

Trevoh Chalobah suffered a minor injury and will not be available for this game. Levi Colwill and Tosin Adarabioyo are expected to form the heart of the defence. No change at the left-back position as Marc Cucurella starts yet again.

Midfield

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall could get an opportunity to start the game. He will be providing his services alongside Moises Caicedo, who is in the middle of the park.

Attack

Enzo Fernandez has done well in the offensive parts and could be used as the attacking midfielder this time. This will allow Cole Palmer to operate on the right wing with Jadon Sancho running down the other side of the pitch.

Enzo Maresca could be using Pedro Neto as the striker for this game.

Omari Kellyman, Noni Madueke, Benoit Badiashile, Wesley Fofana, Nicolas Jackson, Romeo Lavia, and Marc Guiu (all thigh) are are injuried while Mykhaylo Mudryk is suspended for Chelsea for this fixture.
