Southampton Preview – Can Saints halt losing streak?

Southampton head into this lunchtime clash in the Premier League against Chelsea looking to avoid a seventh defeat on the trot in the English top flight which has seen any chances of Southampton staging a late surge for a possible top five finish go up in smoke.

Following losses against Leicester City, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Manchester United, Newcastle United and Wolves, Saints now occupy 13th place in the Premier League table and 13 points adrift of 5th placed West Ham, so the best that the south coast club can hope for now is a possible top half finish.

This will have been a bitter blow to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl who had appeared to be steering his troops towards a possible European spot at one point, but these six defeats which include shipping 20 goals, has well and truly burst Southampton’s bubble.

Chelsea Preview – Can Chelsea add to Saints’ woes?

Four wins on the trot has totally transformed this Chelsea outfit who have lifted themselves up into the top four of the Premier League and now hold Champions League qualification in their own hands as they seek a fifth win on the trot at St Mary’s Stadium.

Victories over Burnley, Tottenham, Sheffield United and Newcastle United have been the perfect tonic for Chelsea who parted ways with former manager and club legend, Frank Lampard, after some ordinary results but the arrival of Thomas Tuchel has seen the German coach make an instant impact at Stamford Bridge.

In addition, Chelsea have won three of their last four matches away from home and they’ve also won each of their last five visits to the south coast against Saints, so The Blues will be in confident mood here.
