Saints host Reserves
Tuesday, Aug 30, 2005
Anthony Grant will play his first reserve fixture of the season
this evening as the second string journey to the south coast to take
on Southampton.
Eighteen year-old Grant, who made his first team debut at Old
Trafford at the end of last season, gave up his deep-lying midfield
position to ￡3 million summer signing Lassana Diarra in the first
reserve game a fortnight ago.
But with Diarra on duty for France Under 21s, Grant resumes the
role he made his own last season. Alongside him will be Jimmy Smith,
coming in for Jiri Jarosik, now on loan at Birmingham and while pacy
Joe Tillen is the left-back. He is named in place of Wayne Bridge who
was given a run-out in the opening reserve fixture against Spurs, a
game that ended in a 2-0 defeat. Steven Watt remains on the injured
list.
It will be unchanged forward line tonight so a forward line of
Filipe Morais, Philip Younghusband and recent arrival from
Switzerland, Jonas Elmer, will be keen to register the first reserve
team strike of the season.
Also in the squad but not selected is 16 year-old left-back Ryan
Bertrand whose X-ray following Saturday’s youth fixture showed no
damage to his hand.
Southampton will have their Swedish international Michael
Svensson in central defence. He is nearing the end of an 18 month
comeback from injury and this will be his fourth consecutive reserve
game.
The Saints won their opening reserve fixture, 1-0 at Norwich with
the goal coming from David McGoldrick.
The Chelsea line-up tonight is: (4-3-3)
Lenny Pidgeley
Dean Smith Michael Mancienne Adrian Pettigrew Joe Tillen
Jimmy Smith Anthony Grant Danny Hollands (c)
Filipe Morais Jonas Elmer

Subs: Yves Ma Kalambay, Dean Furman, James Simmonds,
