Chelsea, who lacked a forward striker, made Popana a starter with David Dart.
Chelsea will face Southampton in the 24th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2022-23 season, which will be held at Stamford Bridge in London, England at 0:00 am (Korean time) on the 19th.
Chelsea has a long way to go. It has fallen into an all-time slump this season and has hardly been able to rebound. Director Graham Potter has come as the successor to Thomas Tuchel, but he still needs to adapt. Last winter, there were active reinforcements, including Enzo Fernandez, but this also needs time to settle down tactically. 스포츠토토
The mood has not been good lately. They have recorded only 1 win in 6 official matches and are in a draw in 4 matches. During the 6 games, only 4 goals were conceded, but the problem was revealed with poor offensive power that allowed only 3 goals to be scored.
Fortunately, the opponent is not difficult. It is Southampton, which has its own competitiveness as it has been in the first division for a long time, but this season it is located at the bottom with 15 points. In the last 6 official games, they have recorded 1 win and 5 losses, and they are not able to raise the mood, as they are missing 3 consecutive losses.
The two teams ahead of the match have announced their starting rosters. Chelsea will start with Popana, Mount, Felix, Madueke, Kovacic, Fernandes, Chilwell, Badiacil, Koulibaly, Azpilicueta and Kepa.
Against this, Southampton will fill the starting list with Onuachu, Kamaldin, Armstrong, Elionusi, Ward-Plaus, Lavita, Perau, Bednarek, Bella-Kochap, Maitland-Niles and Bajunu.
