Match Preview – 19:45 Kick-Off at Stamford Bridge, London

The title race is well and truly on after Chelsea lost at Manchester United. Chelsea now lead Tottenham by just four points, and can't afford to slip once again. Luckily, they play at home this time, and their record at Stamford Bridge is remarkable with 13 wins in 15 matches. Southampton have nothing to play for in midtable, and their performance against Manchester City in the 3-0 home defeat was rather disappointing. Chelsea comfortably won 2-0 at Southampton in October, and they are favourites to take the three points once again.

Chelsea vs Southampton Predictions

Chelsea will be desperate to avoid problems in this fixture, and they usually score early, finding the net in the first 17 minutes in each of their last five games but the visit to Old Trafford. Chelsea can do that again versus Southampton, and that makes the odds on them leading at half-time and winning quite attractive at 2.05. Another interesting alternative is to bet on early goal before 27 minutes, and the odds are very tempting at 1.83. Even if Chelsea don't score themselves, there is a chance that Southampton will find the net, just like Manchester United did after just seven minutes.
