Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Chelsea interim manager Guus Hiddink has kept the same team that battered Manchester City's youngsters in the FA Cup last weekend.
That means Nemanja Matic and Oscar continue to sit on the bench, with John Obi Mikel and Pedro favoured.
Chelsea were ruthless in a 5-1 win at Stamford Bridge last week, and remain unbeaten under Hiddink.
For home side Southampton, unbeaten in six Premier League games, Ronald Koeman has made two changes to the team that beat Swansea City on 13 February.
The Saints have not played since then, but Koeman has brought in Charlie Austin for Graziano Pelle and Steven Davis coming in for James Ward-Prowse.
TEAM NEWS:
Southampton: Forster, Cedric, Fonte, Van Dijk, Bertrand, Targett, Clasie, Romeu, Davis, Austin, Long.
Subs: Stekelenburg, Yoshida, Mane, Tadic, Martina, Ward-Prowse, Pelle.
Chelsea: Courtois, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Ivanovic, Rahman, Mikel, Fabregas, Pedro, Willian, Hazard, Diego Costa.
Subs: Begovic, Matic, Loftus-Cheek, Kenedy, Oscar, Traore, Remy
