Southampton vs Chelsea preview:

Matchday 25 of the 2020/21 Premier League gets underway this week and top-four hopefuls Chelsea will be in action on Saturday afternoon when they travel south to take on Southampton at St. Mary’s.

Southampton, after a promising start to the campaign, have just faded off in recent weeks. Indeed, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men have lost each of their last six Premier League matches, with the latest one ending in a 2-1 defeat to Wolves, which has left them in the 13th place in the table, just four points above Newcastle United in 17th.

Chelsea, meanwhile, have gone on a completely opposite trajectory to that of their weekend opponents since Thomas Tuchel took over last month. Indeed, the Blues have risen from ninth to fourth in the table on the back of a five-game unbeaten run in the league under the German, most recently beating Newcastle United 2-0.

The reverse fixture, played at Stamford Bridge last October, was an entertaining encounter that ended in a 3-3 draw courtesy of an injury-time equaliser from Jannik Vestergaard.

Liverpool vs Everton (Merseyside Derby)

A fascinating event awaits in the Premier League, as both Merseyside teams will lock horns in an intriguing clash at Anfield on Saturday. Liverpool will be raring to gain much-needed momentum in their league campaign, as their advancement so far has portrayed a series of unconvincing scenarios.

The Reds are heading into this fixture on a positive note, as they grabbed a crucial triumph against RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 first leg. Jurgen Klopp’s men have been going through a rough patch for quite a while now, and they are well aware of the fact that from now on, they need to be steady enough for the remaining games to ensure their spot in the top four of the league table.

Like their opponents, The Toffees have managed to grab just two victories in their last five outings across all competitions, which does indicate their existent rugged phase. The daunting defeat against Manchester City in the previous match narrated much of the frailties in their plod, which has been a concerning sight for their Italian manager in recent weeks.

In the reverse fixture, the match ended up in a thrilling draw at Goodison Park, as the Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin spoiled the party for the visitors in the twilight minutes of that fixture.
