Chelsea FC team news: Predicted line up and preview for FA Cup semi final v Southampton

Chelsea will to be looking to salvage a trophy from a despertely disappointing season when they face Southampton for a place in the FA Cup final.

Antonio Conte's head has clearly turned to the cup with the top four out of his reach. He made six changes for the Blues' 2-1 victory over Burnley on Thursday.

His side carry some decent form into the semi final with back-to-back wins, including a dramatic 3-2 victory over their opponents last Saturday.

However they will be without left-back Marcos Alonso, who made the PFA Team of the Year earlier this week, due to a retrospective three-match ban for a tackle on Shane Long in that game.
