Southampton News and Form - Can Southampton beat Chelsea?
It has been back to back losses for the Saints in the top flight. Those losses came against Bournemouth and Spurs. However, Southampton have at least scored in each of their last six games in the Premier League so that is one positive that they can take forward. Plus they more than matched Spurs last weekend. It is a D1 L2 record on home soil that the Saints have taken this term, with the draw happening against Manchester United.
There has been no clean sheet by Southampton yet then and if you look back to the end of last season then they are winless in five league games at home. All but one of the league goals that Southampton have scored this season have come in the second half of games. They have hit the opening goal in five of their seven games played, which is a very good return.

They are creating chances and putting the ball in the back of the net, and four of their last five have gone over 2.5 goals, with the Blues scoring at least two goals in four of their last five as well.

Chelsea to win: Southampton have been frustrated with their results in their last two played and it’s been a while since they won on home turf. Chelsea carries enough of an attacking threat to get the victory in the bag. Away win.
