Chelsea vs Southampton Predictions

Chelsea's form has dropped of a cliff recently, losing their last three matches. At home, against the bottom placed side, I do, however, fancy the Blues to take the win. Southampton can score, though.

Chelsea have won 6 of their last 8 home matches
Chelsea have seen BTTS in 6 of their last 7 matches
Southampton have lost 6 of their last 7 matches
Southampton have seen BTTS in their last 4 away matches
Southampton have seen over 3.5 goals in 5 of their last 7 matches

Head to Head

Chelsea have a 50-33 advantage against Southamton 31 draws. Earlier in the season, the Blues won 5-1 in the reverse fixture.

Chelsea Form

Chelsea have had a bad February with a single win and three defeats this month.

The Blues beat West Ham 2-1 in the Premier League at the start of February, but have lost three in a row since.

Enzo Maresca's side suffered back-to-back losses at Brighton - a 2-1 FA Cup defeat and a 3-0 loss in the Premier League.

On Saturday, Enzo Fernandez gave Chelsea an early lead against Aston Villa only for the Blues to concede late to go down 2-1.

Chelsea Injuries & Team News

Mykhailo Mudryk remains suspended and is one of a number of absentees for Chelsea.

Defenders Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana, midfielder Romeo Lavia and forwards Nicolas Jackson, Marc Guiu and Noni Madueke are all injured.

Southampton Form

Southampton remain adrift at the bottom of the Premier League following a 21st defeat of the season at the weekend.

In what was a sixth loss in the last seven games, the Saints were thrashed 4-0 by rivals Brighton in the south coast derby on Saturday.

Southampton have managed just two league wins and a total of nine points all season and are 13 points adrift of fourth from bottom Wolves.

Southampton Injuries & Team News

On-loan Lesley Ugochukwu is unavailable to play against his parent club.

Defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis and midfielders Ryan Fraser and Adam Lallana are injury doubts.

Striker Ross Stewart is a long-term injury absentee.

Verdict

Chelsea v Southampton

Chelsea won't get a better chance to end their losing run as they host rock bottom Southampton. I'm backing the Blues, but they have been frail at the back so BTTS and over 3.5 goals are tipped too.
