The Chelsea players do not have much time to work on their game following their recent victory at the weekend.
The Blues are travelling down to the south coast to take on Southampton, who are currently rooted to the bottom of the table.

It remains to be seen whether the manager decides to make too many changes to his team, with the game coming just three days after their resounding win over Aston Villa.

Filip Jorgensen has put in a strong case for a start between the sticks with his recent displays in Europe, although Maresca has remained faithful in Sanchez throughout the campaign.
Jorgensen’s role in training has taken on a seemingly different responsibility this week. The goalkeeper has been spotted on the club’s website working on his footwork as an outfield player during one of the drills.
