Chelsea Team News
Chelsea is in terrible form, in a terrible situation. They spent so much money on new signings and they are playing very badly.
Graham Potter is under huge pressure. In the last 15 games, Chelsea has a 3-4-8 score in all competitions. Eight defeats in the last 15 games! They are 10th in the Premier League with 10 points less than the top 4 zones. They are eliminated from the FA cup and they suffered a defeat against Borussia Dortmund in the first game in the Champions League.
The next three weeks will be crucial for Chelsea and Graham Potter. They will play against Southampton, Tottenham, and Leeds in the Premier League and the second leg against Borussia. If he doesn’t improve results, Potter will be sacked. Right now, they are four games without a win.
Chelsea continues to struggle with scoring goals. They spend so much money on the player but they don’t have a striker and they are suffering on the pitch. In the last four games, they scored one goal and even when they create a solid number of chances, they are missing a lot.
In the last nine games in all competitions, Chelsea hasn’t scored more than once!
They scored 23 goals this season and Chelsea’s attack is 13th best in the league! More than half of the teams scored more goals. They failed to score in seven games this season.
At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea is also struggling with only five wins in 10 games. Interesting stat – Chelsea is without a win against teams from the top 9 this season in 10 games!
Southampton Team News
Southampton is on verge of the relegation from the Premier League. They are in the last place in the table with 15 points and four wins after 22 games and they are four points away from safety.
Southampton is playing very badly and they are in the run of three consecutive defeats in all competitions. They have five defeats in the last six games and the only win is against Blackpool at home. Blackpool is the worst team in Championship.
Nathan Jones is sacked a couple of days ago because he didn’t manage to improve results and Southampton is searching for their third manager this season.
In the Premier League Southampton is catastrophic. They have had three consecutive defeats and nine defeats in the last 10 games! They are in the worst form in the league.
Interestingly is that they have three wins away from home in contrast to only one win at St Marry’s Stadium.
With 18 goals scored they have the fourth-worst attack in the league and with 40 goals conceded they have the second-worst defence in the league. They have only one clean sheet this season – the least in the league.

Chelsea vs Southampton Prediction
Chelsea must win this game. This is a very important game for Graham Potter and for the team. If you cannot beat the worst team in the league at home – you are in really big trouble. This game can be something that Chelsea needed most: three points and a couple of goals in the opposition net to gain a little self-confidence.
Southampton is in a terrible run, they are without a manager and with one foot in the Championship. It will be a huge surprise if they manage to win something here somehow.
