Will the Saints defensive be overwhelmed again?
It is quite possible that Hasenhüttl's 21st home bankruptcy will follow this weekend. If you consider how weak the Saints' back line has been in the last few weeks, it would be more than surprising if, of all things, points were scored against the form-strong Blues. Most recently, Southampton conceded 20 goals in six games - an average of just under 3.30 goals per PL game.

Under the new German trainer, the Blues have so far mainly had strong defensive performances. In the last six competitive games, only one goal was conceded, most recently there was a clean slate for Chelsea twice in a row. Even against the harmless offensive of the Saints, the Blues shouldn't have too much trouble.
Free soccer predictions
Tuchel will probably only have to do without Silva and Abraham against Southampton. However, there is still a big question mark behind a deployment by Kai Havertz, a starting XI seems to be rather unlikely.

Bet base forecast & Southampton - Chelsea tip
Chelsea is building on the momentum under Thomas Tuchel and is aiming for a sixth win in a row across all competitions. The Blues not only want to defend fourth place in the table in the English House of Lords, but also master the dress rehearsal before the Champions League hit against Atletico Madrid.
Free soccer tips
Chelsea's last five wins in a row at St. Mary’s in Southampton. The Blues have not lost in the Saints' home ground since March 2013, and accordingly the fourth in the table from London travels with a broad chest to the weak league competitor. After six defeats in a row, the next negative internal record threatens on Saturday.
Free soccer predictions
Although the most dangerous player in the Blues is missing with Abraham, there is still enough potential on the offensive to play the stumbling Saints against the wall. In the current condition, the team of head coach Ralph Hasenhüttl shouldn't be too big a hurdle for the Londoners.
