Chelsea are on the road in the Premier League this Saturday with Thomas Tuchel’s under-fire Blues taking on Southampton at the St. Mary’s.
The Stamford Bridge giants have been handed two big defeats in a row with the 4-1 drubbing at the hands of Brentford last time around in league action followed by Real Madrid winning 3-1 on their midweek trip to the English capital.
Tuchel’s men are on the brink of crashing out of the Champions League after suffering the loss in the first leg quarter-final clash as a Karim Benzema hat-trick powered Madrid to a convincing win.
Southampton have endured a woeful run of form of their own with Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side securing just one point from the last 12 on offer in top-flight action.

TEAM NEWS
Ben Chilwell and Callum Hudson-Odoi remain long-term absentees on the injury front for the visitors Chelsea but the latter would be hoping for a return in time for the upcoming game.
Tuchel would be convinced to ring in changes from the last outing with the likes of Thiago Silva and Jorginho expected to drop down the bench.
MATCH PREDICTION
Chelsea, despite their patchy run of form as of late, remain the favourites to clinch the win in Saturday’s contest on the South Coast over an embattled Southampton outfit.
Southampton 0-3 Chelsea
