TEAM NEWS
Chelsea captain Gary Cahill has returned to training after gastroenteritis and could be involved against Southampton on Tuesday.
Head coach Antonio Conte is likely to recall Diego Costa and Eden Hazard after leaving them out for the FA Cup semi-final win over Tottenham.
Southampton midfielder Oriel Romeu is available to face his former side after completing a two-match ban.
Sam McQueen is set to miss the fixture because of a minor groin strain.
Long-term absentees Matt Targett and Charlie Austin will return to training later this week.

WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY
Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte: "I have in my mind the starting 11 but tomorrow I want to check very well the physical consideration of every single player as our last game was an intense one and used energy.
"But we have trained very well this season and we have a lot of energy to face this type of situation.
"It is important for us to win and look at ourselves, but we all know that tomorrow it won't be easy because Southampton is a very good team with a good coach and good players."

Southampton manager Claude Puel on the importance of Oriol Romeu: "I think he's not far off [N'Golo] Kante. He recovers the ball so well and is a technical player.
"He's an important player for this team because he can do fantastic work to recover the ball and start the play. It's difficult for us without him.
"We will see for the future, we are confident in him and, for me, he can look to getting in the selection with Spain, for example."

MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Chelsea have only won three of their last eight Premier League matches against Southampton at Stamford Bridge, and lost last season's fixture 3-1.
However, Chelsea have only lost two of the 16 meetings between the clubs since 2002 (W9, D5).

Chelsea
The Blues have lost two of their last four league games, twice as many as in the previous 22 matches.
Chelsea have gone 10 Premier League games without keeping a clean sheet for the first time since a run of 13 matches in December 1996.

Diego Costa's next Premier League goal will be his 50th in the competition but he could fail to score in six consecutive league appearances for the first time since January 2013
.
Eden Hazard has equalled his best return of 14 Premier League goals in a season. He has only once scored more often in a campaign: 20 goals for Lille in 2011-12.
Southampton
Southampton have won three of their last four Premier League away games, scoring 10 goals.
Claude Puel's side haven't beaten a team currently in the top six of the Premier League all season, drawing two and losing six.
Manolo Gabbiadini scored six goals in his first four appearances for the Saints but has failed to add to that tally in his last two games.

Cedric Soares could become the first Southampton player since Kevin Davies in 2001 to receive a yellow card in four consecutive Premier League matches.

thanks honey... 1 and over 2.5... Victory is certain...

No room for slacking boys!!!
We know Southampton can be a spoiler at times.

Like I gave predicted, the last five matches will be terrible for Tottenham.

I would love to see Ake start again tonight. If possible, I would rather see Willian, Hazard and Pedro as front three. The only contribution of Costa of late has been keeping defenders on their toes owing to his presence on the pitch of play and not that he is really giving anything worth noting.

^{[center]A must lose for Chelsea [/center]}

No time, we winning tonight...
