Team vs Southampton (A)

[EQP]

Hugo
Tanganga - Dier - Davies
Doherty ----------------------------------------------- Reguillon
Skipp - Winks
Lucas - Kane - Son


Subs: Dele, Stevie, Gil, Sanchez, Royal, Rodon, Gollini, Tanguy, PEH

Hopefully, Reguillon will be able to recover for this game. If not, I can see Conte playing Davies as a LWB and bringing in Rodon or Tanganga as the LCB.​

I reckon we see a lot of rotation. The cms who played against Liverpool, wbs rotated, front 3 turned to a 2 and 1 of them rested.

This, although is Sessegnon back? If not Reggie may need to play again.

The wbs and cm players cover a lot of ground so we have to rotate to some extent and Winks, Ali and Ndombele did well against Liverpool.

If we do that, we do have the likes of Skipp and Lucas on the bench to change things up if we need. Plus Kane and Son got some rest in the later stages of the Palace match, they should be good to start.

 

[Japhet]

Would like to know if LoCelso and Sessegnon are fit.

 

[DannyNZ]

Assume Davies rested today as will replace Reggie for Southampton. Can see Winks getting a run but otherwise no changes.

 

[crokey]

Probably a lot of changes

Lloris
Sanchez Dier Davies
Doherty Winks Ndombele Reguillon
Bergwijn Kane Son

Sess is out till after next weekend. Conte said he’d be out for 14 days.

Yep think Davies is nailed on to be LWB. Was why he was rested yesterday

Up to 14 days. Was 10-14. He was training with the team before palace though.

 

[Delboy75]

I’d be quite tempted to go with the team that lined Vs Liverpool plus Reggy. Can’t underestimate the advantage of freshness in this situation. And if get lead have lots of bench options or if need to chase the game.

 

[Fredo]

No reason why we can't finish above Chelsea this season imo

They're certainly not the machine the media are making them out to be.

 

[Albertbarich]

As good a time to play soton as any. No way can they play with the intesnity they like to with only a 48 rest.

Yup. They beat a depleted and tired West Ham side because they were fresh.
they pack midfield massively though so I think 3 5 2 is the way to go. They’re still very vulnerable in defence with a crap squad so they will be tired so it we rotate we’ll we should be able to beat them comfortably. They’re down the table for a reason.

 

[carpediem991]

Team will really be interesting.

Son, Kane, Lloris and the CBs should still start, apart from that there are options. I expect Davies and Doherty at wing backs but midfield three could be any combination out of Dele, Skipp, PEH, Winks, Ndomb, Lo Celso or more offensively Bergwijn and Lucas.

I guess we go with Winks, Dele and Skipp.

 

[journeyman]

I’d be surprised if Davies is used at LWB - Conte has never put him there - I expect he’ll be back in at LCB and Reguilon will start again.

Because he's never been in a situation where he's needed to until now. He may still not play him at LWB tomorrow but I don't think it should be a ruled out as a possibility.

Davies was rested because he had covid & you shouldnt be playing 270’ in a week after that. Expect he’ll do similar with Lucas & Emerson with another game on Saturday.
