Closed Southampton v Chelsea

Cool and thx mate!

He should start both games and let torres play against stoke with ba coming on as a sub!

I think Ba should be starting probably today and then against Stoke for sure. He has the physical play that is quite useful against those thugs. Torres would just get pushed out wide.

I really doubt about Ba for today.Torres will start again its early for Ba to make his debut, maybe he will start from the bench, but anyway i want to see him.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Excited about this game only because of Ba.Hope he does start but if he doesn't then I am certain he will get some reasonable minutes at least.Fingers crossed for a goal on debut.

Is Moses playing today? Didn't he leave for ACON?

[The only place to be 11,313]

My team would be:

Turnbull

Azpi Ivanovic cahill cole

Luiz oscar

Moses mata hazard

Ba

Now if that was the team It would be fascinating to see.

That's almost exactly the team I'd like to see. Luiz looks like he needs a breather to be honest, but Mata and Hazard look nailed-on to start, Ba is ready to go and I want to see Oscar play deeper. If Moses and Mikel aren't available then I'd go for Marin and Luiz.

Is Moses playing today? Didn't he leave for ACON?

Both he and Mikel are leaving for Portugal straight after the match today, so they are both available for this afternoon.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

I feel that Luiz should be rested for this one. Would like to see Ramires with either Oscar or Lampard.

I don't think Ba will start but hope to play about 30+ minutes.I don't think Southampton to play defensive like QPR so we will have more chances to score and probably will score more goals than them.But they are dangerous in front.And with our reserve gk our defence must work hard and careful,not making silly mistakes.

Good luck to the boys and hope to make good match.

QPR didn't play that defensively. We just sucked major ass..

French media reporting Ba starting for CFC.

Lukaku starting for WBA as well so be sure to keep an eye on that game, as well as Chalobah for Watford.
