Chelsea vs Southampton Preview & Tips

Chelsea couldn't ask for a better game to re-find their form. Southampton can't seem to find the back of the net so I foresee a comfortable home victory.

Head-to-Head

Chelsea have a 46-31 advantage against Southampton in 108 meetings with 31 draws.

Chelsea Form

Chelsea suffered consecutive defeats for the first time under Thomas Tuchel following 1-0 defeats to Man City and Juventus.

Chelsea were the better side in Turin, with 16-6 shots and 74% possession. They couldn’t find the net and were punished by Juve’s second-half goal.

Tuchel’s side are in good home form in the Premier League, winning 3-0 in two of their last three home matches.

Chelsea Team News

Midfielder Mason Mount should return to the squad.

Defender Reece James and midfielders N’Golo Kante and Christian Pulisic are unavailable due to injury.

Southampton Form

Southampton’s winless run extended to five following a narrow 1-0 defeat at home to Wolves on Sunday.

Ralph Hasenhüttl had 18 shots but failed to create any clear-cut chances. They were undone by a quick Wolves counter-attack and still await their first league win.

The Saints have also failed to score in three of their last four after goalless draws with Man City and West Ham.
