Thomas Tuchel seems to have finally found a space in his Premier League starting XI for fan favourite midfielder N’Golo Kante.
The French midfielder looked to be out of favour with new boss Thomas Tuchel but that has now been squashed as he starts against a strong Southampton in today’s early kick off.
Tuchel seems to be choosing five at the back once again as it brings the best out of wing backs Reece James and Marcos Alonso with the Spanish defender finding a new lease of life under the new boss.
Will the injection of N’Golo Kante today prove the difference and push Chelsea onto yet another win?

A win against Hassenhuttl’s side would lengthen Tuchel’s current unbeaten run but has he found his strongest XI yet with Summer signing from Ajax, Hakim Ziyech still not getting a chance under the German manager?
