Southampton
Southampton boss Hasenhuttl confirmed during Thursday's press conference that Kyle Walker-Peters is out for "a few weeks" through injury, while Ibrahima Diallo and Theo Walcott remain sidelined for the clash.
Michael Obafemi and William Smallbone are also still absent, but Alexandre Jankewitz, who was shown a red card against Man United at Old Trafford, is available following a suspension.
Jack Stephens could come into the side as a replacement for Walker-Peters, while there could also be a change in the final third with Che Adams potentially lining up alongside Danny Ings.
Southampton possible starting lineup:
McCarthy; Stephens, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Bertrand; Armstrong, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Minamino; Adams, Ings
Southampton Premier League form: LLLLLL
Southampton form (all competitions): LLLLWL
Chelsea
Chelsea's Tammy Abraham is a slight doubt with the ankle problem that he picked up against Newcastle on Monday evening, and the striker could be protected ahead of some important fixtures, meaning that Olivier Giroud might get the nod through the middle.
Thiago Silva and Kai Havertz were both back in training on Thursday, but the former will not be involved at St Mary's as Tuchel looks ahead; Andreas Christensen should therefore continue at the heart of the defence, with Marcos Alonso again potentially getting the nod over Ben Chilwell as the left-sided wing-back.
Edouard Mendy is expected to replace Kepa Arrizabalaga between the sticks, but there is a slight doubt over Christian Pulisic's fitness as the attacker battles a calf issue.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Mendy; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger; Hudson-Odoi, Jorginho, Kovacic, Alonso; Mount, Giroud, Werner
Chelsea Premier League form: LDWWWW
Chelsea form (all competitions): DWWWWW
Prediction: Southampton 0-1 Chelsea
