Chelsea will be desperate to get back to winning ways in the Premier League when they head to the South Coast to take on Southampton on Saturday with Tottenham and Arsenal now snapping at their heels.
The Blues have seemed comfortable in third for some time now but last weekend’s 4-1 loss at the hands of Brentford has cast new doubt over their position in the top four.
A trip to face an out-of-form Southampton side on Saturday afternoon represents an excellent opportunity to put their West London derby defeat behind them.
Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side ended a four-game losing run with a 1-1 draw with Leeds United last weekend and were handsomely beaten by Chelsea in the reverse fixture in October.
Even so, they’re a team we’ve seen cause real problems for some of the Premier League’s bigger clubs this season.

Our prediction: Southampton v Chelsea
Chelsea’s position in the Premier League’s top four suddenly looks under threat and the pressure is on them to avoid another slip-up.
Last weekend’s 4-1 defeat to Brentford in the West London derby was a nightmarish afternoon and they cannot afford another one of those.
As he’s a Chelsea loanee, Southampton will be without striker Armando Broja and his absence may help the Blues come out on top of a game that could be tight at St Mary’s.
Our prediction: Southampton 1-2 Chelsea (17/2 at Bet365)
