Chelsea FC vs Southampton, England – Premier League, Stamford Bridge, 21:15

Two struggling sides on downward spirals seek to restore Premier League parity on Tuesday evening when Chelsea welcomes Championship-bound Southampton to Stamford Bridge.

Enzo Maresca’s men are reeling from a third straight loss in all competitions – going down 2-1 to Aston Villa – while their visitors put up little resistance in a 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion.

Despite Chelsea’s recent struggles, Blues fans shouldn’t anticipate any sympathy from Southampton supporters, as their team may yet record a new lowest-ever points total in the Premier League before their likely relegation to the second tier.

The top flight’s whipping boys became part of an unwanted club on Saturday, where Joao Pedro, Kaoru Mitoma, Jack Hinshelwood, and Georginio Rutter helped themselves to goals in a 4-0 trouncing for Brighton, who subjected the Saints to an eighth straight loss at home in the Premier League.

Even with a fully-fit defence, Southampton are carved open with ease more often than not, and the Saints’ depleted backline only spells even more danger for the basement boys.

Chelsea might have persistent problems on the road, but the Blues are good value for a few goals at home and should defy their attacking absences to storm to a routine win over Juric’s men.
