For the second time within a month, Chelsea will be hosting Southampton at Stamford Bridge as the fight for the quarters of the Carobao Cup heats up.
The two previously clashed in early October as part of the Premier League which saw the Blues dispatch their visitors by three goals to one, but Southampton now have an early shot at revenge.
The Saints side have rebounded and remain unbeaten in their last two games, advancing to the round of 16 in the Carabao Cup fixtures despite struggling in the Premier League.

However they will have their work cut out taking on Thomas Tuchel’s men, who not only lifted the Champions League trophy earlier this year but have been on electrifying form recently, beating Norwich City by an incredible seven goals in their last match.
Chelsea are now on an impressive unbeaten run of four games – will they make it a fifth?

Our prediction: Chelsea v Southampton
Both teams will be rotating out their squad for this match, so Chelsea will have to fare without the line-up that has delivered consistently in the last few matches.
However even the Blue’s reserves will be too strong against Southampton, despite the Saints improving since their last clash less than a month ago. The south coast side’s attack will seriously struggle without captain James Ward-Prowse who remains suspended, and Chelsea is especially known for their formidable defence.
It’s therefore a question of how much of the magic of the last four games this adapted Chelsea squad can capture – but the match will likely end with Southampton bowing out of the Carabao Cup.
Our prediction: Chelsea 2 – 0 Southampton (11/2 at bet365).
