Southampton continue their Premier League 2021-22 campaign on Saturday as they welcome Chelsea to St. Mary's Stadium.
The hosts picked up a point across all competitions for the first time in over a month as they came from behind to secure a 1-1 draw at Leeds United last week. They had lost three games in a row before that encounter.
Chelsea, on the other hand, resumed their campaign following the international break with a 4-1 home loss to London rivals Brentford last week. Their poor run continued in the UEFA Champions League as well, as they suffered a 3-1 home loss to Real Madrid in their first-leg quarter-final fixture on Wednesday.
The two sides head into the game with just one thing on their minds, which is to secure a win. Chelsea's second-leg game in the Champions League just four days after this fixture might impact their performance here.
Southampton vs Chelsea Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
Southampton vs Chelsea Prediction
Southampton are without a win against the London giants at home since 2013, with their last two wins in the fixture coming at Stamford Bridge. They have lost their last two home games by a 2-1 scoreline and will be looking to return to winning ways here.
Chelsea are undefeated in their last four away games, scoring nine goals in that period and conceding just twice. Their odds of defeating the home side look good and they will also be fired up after a 3-1 thrashing at home in the Champions League by Real Madrid.
Chelsea should come out on top here but we also expect the Saints to put up a fight and score at least one goal.

vs soton I've gone with kepa because Mendy has not been at his best and kepa has nothing to lose so he will give 100 💯 I've gone with chalobah because Silva is 37 and needs rest I've gone for Alonso because soton are not fast and rely on press I've gone for kova because he can beat the press well with his world class dribbling and passing Barkley because he is very creative and his long shot are very good to be honest harvetz because he is on form pulisic because no one can play there and also don't hate because it's my opinion
