Prediction: 0-2
Chelsea
St. Mary’s Stadium will host Sunday’s football game between Southampton and Chelsea. The Saints head into the game following back-to-back losses to the likes of Liverpool and Wolverhampton, meaning that they are desperate to grab something from the Chelsea clash. Southampton obviously do not seem to be capable of matching top-table sides in the 2018/2019 Premier League season and seeing that the Blues are eager to return to winning ways following a 1-1 draw with Liverpool, we predict that Maurizio Sarri’s men are going to pick up all three points from Sunday’s clash. Eden Hazard, who impressed in the draw with Jirgen Klopp’s troops, is likely to pose a big threat for the opposition defenders and we believe that he is going to lead the Blues to their sixth win of the season. In their last meeting at St. Mary’s Stadium Chelsea outplayed Southampton 3-2.

Highlighted Player (Fraser Forster):
Originating from Hexham, Fraser Forster is an English goalkeeper who spent his early career at Newcastle United, but surprisingly did not make a single Premier League appearance during the seven years at St James’ Park. Forster first showed promise during the loan spell with Norwich City, but it was the stint with Celtic that earned him wide acclaim and saw him become an England international.
After spending four years at Parkhead, the highly rated goalkeeper returned to the Premier League to sign for Southampton and he has since acted as club’s number one goalkeeper. Forster has been a member of the England national team since 2013, usually acting as a back up for Joe Hart, making a handful of appearances in international friendlies.
Forster was in the Three Lions squad at the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016, and with quite a few of good years in front of him, the towering goalkeeper should get the opportunity to win few more England caps before he retires from football.
Highlighted Team (Chelsea):
Over the years Chelsea have established themselves as one of the dominant forces in the English Premier League. Roberto Di Matteo helped the team win their first ever Champions League trophy (2011/2012), but it has to be noted that they were more than fortunate to beat Bayern Munich in the title game.
Chelsea have been playing at Stamford Bridge since 1876 and they are a real force to be reckoned with at home. The Blues have won seven FA Cups, five League Cups, two UEFA Cup Winners’ Cups and the UEFA Europa League. Rafael Benitez was in charge of the team that faced Benfica in the 2012/2013 Europa League final, with Branislav Ivanovic scoring the winner for the Blues in the title clash.
After lifting the 2014/2015 Premier League trophy, the Blues largely struggled in the next campaign, which saw Jose Mourinho’s second spell with the club come to an end, and Antoine Conte went over to take the reigns for the 2016/2017 season.
