Chelsea vs Southampton confirmed line-ups: Team news ahead of Carabao Cup tie

Chelsea host Southampton in the Carabao Cup round of 16 on Tuesday evening.

Thomas Tuchel’s side were in imperious form against Norwich City on the weekend as they thrashed Daniel Farke’s sorry Canaries 7-0 at Stamford Bridge to maintain their one-point lead at the top of the Premier League.

Tuchel will be keen to add more silverware to last season’s Champions League but is likely to take the opportunity to rotate his squad, even if injuries to Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner will somewhat restrict his options.

Southampton, meanwhile, were held to a 2-2 draw by Burnley at the weekend and will be without one of their goalscorers, Armando Broja, due to the striker being unable to face his parent club.

Here is everything you need to know:

When is it and what time is kick-off?

The match will get underway at 7.45pm BST at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday 26 October.
