Prediction

  • Southampton were unfortunate not to take all three points against Brighton on Friday night, with VAR ruling out what appeared to be a perfectly good goal for Cameron Archer in the second half.
  • The Saints remain cut adrift at the bottom of the Premier League table, four points from safety, with their poor goal difference effectively making it a five-point gap.
  • Chelsea made it six matches unbeaten when they cruised past Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
  • The Blues now sit joint-second with Arsenal and two points ahead of crisis-hit Manchester City.
  • Expect a resounding win for the visitors here against a Southampton side without plenty of key players.
