Ralph Hassenhuttl’s Southampton welcomes Thomas Tuchel’s resurgent Chelsea to St. Mary’s stadium for the lunch time kick off of the day by 1:30pm.
Thomas Tuchel would be hoping for a 6th consecutive win in all competitions when his side take onto the field, having won their past four premier league games and an FA Cup game.
The only match that Chelsea had failed to win was the German’s tactician first match in charge of the West London Club, where a goalless draw with Wolves was played out.

The new surge in Chelsea have lifted them to 4th position in the league standings and although Thomas Tuchel said the league title was out of their reach when he came in, most fans of the Blues would surely be gunning for it.
Southampton on the other hand, are in a somewhat uncharted territory. The Saints have lost their last five matches in the English Premier League and are in 13th position, having once topped the Premier League table.
In 20 previous matches between the two sides, Southampton have only come out victorious three times, with the Blues winning 12 previous matches.
In Southampton’s past five matches in all competitions, they have conceded 15 goals while scoring only five, including the 9 – 0 loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Southampton have lost their last five home league games against Chelsea, their longest losing run against a specific opponent in their league history.
Chelsea haven’t failed to win either of their league meetings with Southampton in a season since 2014-15, when they drew 1-1 both home and away against them.
A Chelsea victory is what will be a very safe bet and you could choose to add goals, over 2.5 goals to increase the odds. Though, it may be a tricky one as Thomas Tuchel many times find it difficult to score goals.
