Looks like Conte will have to revert to three at the back against Southampton. 

What do you mean revert? 

We will destroy them with our new-look formation. 

Come on Chels! 

Ivanovic back on the bench, should have kept Aina, he can play both wing back positions, he's quicker, and he's the future.

I suppose he can fill in as a CB maybe even a wing back  JT would have a hard time filling in for azpi I guess Ivan would be better suited

Everton look like getting 3 points today. I hope we do too.

The back three we played against Man Utd.

Misunderstood as you said revert to three at the back

Yes I should have explained it better.

Not overly confident we'll get a win today but we might get a point. I think it'll be 1-1

I think Ivan could be a great RCB, given he was a CB/RB, not being a pure RB any more could lengthen his career here.

As much as I hate to see Willian on the bench, Pedro makes more sense in a front three.

Southampton are on a good run right now, they look strong. This will be our toughest match since the change in formation i think.

There is no reason to worry if we will play the same like we did against Man United. 

COME ON CHELS!!!!!!!!!!!!

No way through for SOTON 

clean sheet is easy

my prediction is 3/0 win

I have a bad feeling on this one. I think Southampton will play a high pressing front 3 like they did vs Man City and it will cause us issues playing out from the back (as it did with City)

Yes they will stop us playing out from the back we might have to punt it up field

That's what we've been doing lately after being burned vs Arse and Swansea, love seeing Cahill not f**k about anymore an do the ol' fashioned clearance and let our 2 DMs win the ball back.

Hopefully conte has a plan for that....

Tough game but I think we have enough up front to nick this

Hopefully conte has a plan for that....

Hopefully

I have a suspicion a poor Man Utd side has made us look better than we are.

Maybe I'm just being overly pessimistic

1-3 (Moses- Costa - Luiz)

2-1 win, Costa with a brace
