Recent Form
Chelsea’s situation has become precarious, with only two wins in their last ten league matches. This stretch, which included a festive downturn, has seen them triumph only over teams at the bottom of the standings, such as Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Ham United. Star player Cole Palmer’s lack of scoring has compounded their troubles.
On the other hand, Southampton, sitting at the bottom of the league with only nine points from 26 matches, presents a favorable matchup for Chelsea, despite their own struggles.
Projected Lineup
Goalkeeper Jorgensen; Defense: Gusto, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Midfield: James, Caicedo, Palmer, Fernandez; Attack: Nkunku, Neto.
Prediction
Chelsea is expected to gain a much-needed victory against Southampton, potentially boosting their morale and setting the stage for a better performance in upcoming fixtures. Prediction: Chelsea 3, Southampton 0.
