Prediction and Preview
Chelsea [ 1] - [0] Southampton
Chelsea is currently in third place in the Premier League table, just two points behind Manchester United and four points behind league leaders Manchester City. They are unbeaten in their last five league matches, having won four and drawn one. Chelsea has a talented squad, with players such as Romelu Lukaku, Mason Mount, and N'Golo Kante, and they will be looking to continue their good form.
Southampton, on the other hand, is currently in 12th place in the Premier League table, having won seven of their 25 league matches this season. They have been inconsistent this season, but they have picked up some important wins against teams like Leicester City and West Ham United.
Chelsea and Southampton have already met once this season, with Chelsea winning 3-1 at St. Mary's Stadium in September 2022. Southampton will be looking for revenge, but they will face a tough test against a Chelsea team that is in good form.
Chelsea will be without the injured Thiago Silva and Hakim Ziyech, while Southampton will be missing Mohammed Salisu, Michael Obafemi, and Oriol Romeu. Chelsea has a much stronger squad on paper, but Southampton has shown that they can cause problems for top teams on their day.
Overall, Chelsea is the clear favorite in this match, and they should be able to pick up all three points at Stamford Bridge. Southampton will need to be at their best to get anything from this match, but it will be a difficult task for them.
