What They're Saying

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman (via SaintsFC): It's a challenge and we will take that after a comfortable win against Crystal Palace. We know we have to be very good for a result but the two wins bring the team a lot of belief and we need that for Chelsea."

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho (via ESPN FC): "So I know Ronald well. I know he is a good coach with a good mentality and I know the football principles he likes, so when I saw him take over [Mauricio] Pochettino's team, I thought he was the right guy to do it.

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Chelsea's Cesc Fabregas is projected to start in a more creative role in Southampton. Despite his defensive work, the 27-year-old still manages to average 3.5 key passes per match.

Southampton's Projected Lineup (5-4-1): Forster; Targett, Yoshida, Alderweireld, Fonte, Clyne; Tadic, Schneiderlin, Wanyama, Davis; Pelle

Manchester Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Azpilicueta, Terry, Cahill, Ivanovic; Mikel, Matic; Hazard, Fabregas, Willian; Costa
