| Southampton and Chelsea |
The league's last-place team, Southampton, faces the aforementioned Chelsea. On Wednesday night in the Champions League, Chelsea will seek retribution for their goal-scoring profligacy against Dortmund.
Karim Adeyemi, a promising teenager, scored a lone goal to give his team the edge before the second-leg match at Stamford Bridge in three weeks.
New acquisitions Mykhailo Mudryk, Jose Fernandez, and Joao Felix all started for Chelsea and had fantastic moments, although Felix should have converted a few of his opportunities.
Although Ben Chilwell was fit to play, he was extending his right leg by the time he was substituted by Cucurella in the second half. Reece James also played the full match.
When asked whether the fullback was in discomfort beforehand before being substituted, manager Graham Potter claimed that it was merely a kick and that he had not yet spoken to him again.
After the loss to Dortmund in Germany, he informed journalists, "Just five minutes before he was substituted, he ran along the sideline and was kicked in the ankle."
"I haven't really examined it, but I believe it is mostly a kick and perhaps some weariness."
"It constituted his first start in a while, therefore the plan before to the match was to remove him after 60/70 minutes maximum." Thus, that was intended."
Chelsea will now focus on their Premier League match against Southampton, who are currently without a manager after Nathan Jones' dismissal earlier in the week.
Graham Potter has achieved only two of his past nine games in all tournaments, but the Blues have an opportunity to correct that against Southampton.
K24 TV will air the live game at EPL Maskani.
