Chelsea predicted line up for Saturday’s game against Southampton.
A look at a Chelsea predicted line up that could take to the field against Southampton this weekend, with the Blues likely to make changes again after their midweek Champions League defeat to Porto…
GK: Asmir Begovic
First choice for Chelsea at the moment due to Thibaut Courtois’ absence through injury, Asmir Begovic should keep his place despite some unconvincing form as number one.
DR: Cesar Azpilicueta
With Branislav Ivanovic so poor again at Porto, Cesar Azpilicueta could move to right-back for this game, a move which has worked before.
DL: Baba Rahman
A promising summer signing, young defender Baba Rahman could replace Azpilicueta at left-back if Ivanovic is dropped for this match.

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.
DC: Kurt Zouma
A fine young centre-back, Kurt Zouma is sure to start again for Chelsea this weekend after a strong run of form since being brought into the first-team picture.
MC: Nemanja Matic
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.
AMR: Pedro
Struggling to hit top form, Pedro will likely get more chances to adjust to Chelsea’s style of play and to his new team-mates at Stamford Bridge.
AML: Eden Hazard
Another big name rested in midweek, Eden Hazard makes our Chelsea predicted line up, though how much longer can he afford to play well below his best level?
AMC: Willian
With Oscar and Fabregas not impressing, Willian could take this central attacking midfield role after some good games for Chelsea recently.
FC: Radamel Falcao
Concluding our Chelsea predicted line up, Radamel Falcao will surely start ahead of Loic Remy after his awful match last week, while Diego Costa remains suspended.
