Chelsea
St. Mary’s Stadium will be the centre of attention when Southampton and Chelsea lock horns in a highly-anticipated Premier League game. The Saints aim to put an end to their three-game winless run and, no doubt, a 1-1 draw with Brighton gave them a confidence boost. However, home win should not be considered as Russell Martin’s troops are hit by suspensions and injuries. All Downes, Harwood-Bellis, and Dibling are banned for the match, while the likes of Bazunu, Bednarek, Lallana, Ramsdale, Smallbone, and Stewart miss out with injuries.
The Blues, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 3-0 win over Aston Villa. Chelsea are on a three-game winning run in all competitions and given the number of absentees in the home team, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Enzo Maresca’s troops. Last time out Southampton defeated Chelsea 2-1 at St. Marry’s, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge.
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.
