Southampton vs Chelsea

image

Thomas Tuchel’s side have made a mediocre start to the Premier League campaign by their standards, and they have picked up just seven points from four outings so far. Chelsea managed to bounce back from the humiliating defeat against Leeds United with a vital win over Leicester City, and it remains to be seen whether they can put together a winning run now.

Meanwhile, Southampton come into the game on the back of a defeat against Manchester United, and they have picked up just four points from four league matches so far. The home side will be aware of the fact that Chelsea have been vulnerable this season, and they will look to make the most of the visitors’ inconsistencies and punish them here.

On their day, Southampton have the quality to trouble any side and it will be interesting to see if the players can step up and deliver this week.
