DC: Gary Cahill
One of Chelsea’s most important players, Gary Cahill will have an even more senior role for Jose Mourinho’s side after John Terry’s recent axe from the starting XI.

Rested against Porto in midweek, Nemanja Matic will surely come back into the Chelsea starting line up after showing himself to be one of the club’s most reliable performers.
MC: Ramires
With Cesc Fabregas in such poor form and Ramires featuring a little more often recently, Ramires should get another game for Chelsea against Southampton.
