Southampton vs Chelsea Match Preview
Chelsea bagged an exciting Champions League win over Lille (1-2) on Wednesday and now travel to Southampton for their Matchday 8 Premier League clash in good spirits, looking to extend a three-match winning streak across competitions and challenge a top 4 spot.
Blues have picked it up as they outclassed Grimsby Town (7-1) in League Cup and Brighton (2-0) in Premier League beforehand, putting behind them somewhat disappointing displays against Valencia (0-1) and Liverpool (1-2) as well as a rather shaky start of the new campaign overall.
Southampton sit just four points behind the rivals but they’ve struggled for consistency just as much, seeing a 2-1 loss at Tottenham last week and failing to connect any two same results since the wins over Brighton (0-2) and Fulham (0-1 in League Cup) back in August.
