Chelsea are back in action at Stamford Bridge under the lights as they welcome Southampton to the capital.
The Blues have not been on the best run of form, losing to Aston Villa on Saturday despite being 1-0 up at Villa Park.
Recent results have raised concerns about the security of Enzo Maresca’s job, and the former Leicester boss will have to win tonight to quell the gossip.
Southampton are as good as relegated, but will not want to go down without a fight.
Read on to see how both teams line-up in West London.
