Sarr, Loftus Cheek, Niguez And Ziyech To Start, Mount On The Bench: Chelsea's Predicted XI To Face Southampton - Part 3

RWB – Cesar Azpilicueta

Azpilicueta

The Spaniard was, somewhat surprisingly, an unused substitute for the 7-0 thumping against Norwich at the weekend, so he is likely to start versus the Saints.

Tuchel has employed Azpilicueta more often than not as a wingback this campaign so that is likely where he will be selected tonight.
