Chelsea are miles away from the title contest, but they are in the driving seat when it comes to the battle for the top-four finish after Arsenal’s recent slip-ups. Maurizio Sarri’s troops generally played well at Stamford Bridge this season. They have a fine record of six wins, three draws and one defeat in ten home matches in Premier League.The Saints allowed as many as 21 goals in 10 league outings on the road this term. It’s really hard to see any other scenario but a home win knowing Chelsea won seven, drew one and lost one of last nine fixtures at Stamford Bridge across competitions.
