Chelsea vs Southampton form guide

Chelsea vs Southampton prediction

Chelsea are undoubtedly the favourites to win at home but they will have to be careful here.

The Blues have failed to beat Southampton in their last three outings. That said, Chelsea are undefeated in 11 of the last 12 matches against the Saints in all competitions.

The home side have conceded just twice in the Premier League this season and they should be able to grind out the three points here.

Prediction: Chelsea to win.
