Joe Doyle and Bobby Vincent debate and discuss the lineup that Enzo Maresca should select for Chelsea’s Premier League match against Southampton on Wednesday
When asked if he will rotate his Chelsea squad for Wednesday night’s match against Southampton, who are at the bottom of the league, Enzo Maresca was somewhat evasive.
The Saints are at the bottom of the Premier League standings with just five points from their first 13 games, while the Blues are hoping to win four straight games across all competitions. The turnaround for Maresca and his team is quite short after their Sunday afternoon match against Aston Villa; nonetheless, when questioned on Tuesday morning about his lineup plans, the head coach did not want to talk about it too much He stated: “The men who played had a recuperation session yesterday. We have another practice this afternoon, and after that, we make a decision. Even though Robert Sanchez didn’t do anything wrong on Sunday afternoon, Filip Jorgensen is still the person I would personally start at St. Mary’s. Moises Caicedo is expected to return to midfield, and Malo Gusto may return to right-back.
Romeo Lavia might be given a break in midfield, and Benoit Badiashile might take Wesley Fofana’s position due to injury. Chelsea has the luxury of doing this with the Belgian, who went to Stamford Bridge from Southampton in the summer of 2023, thanks to the form of Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez, who are anticipated to be asked to depart again.
