Southampton vs Chelsea

Kian Long: SOU 1-3 CHE

Eden Hazard will come thorough with the goods yet again for Chelsea. The Blues have European football mid-week, so don’t be surprised to see a few key players rested ready for this match with Southampton.

Matt English: SOU 1-4 CHE

Hazard cannot stop scoring and is likely to lead Chelsea past a lackluster Southampton side. Expect some beautiful goals from this one.

Atharva Khadilkar: SOU 0-2 CHE

Chelsea’s main man and trouble maker Eden Hazard will be rested to the Europa League. He should yet again deliver the 3 points in what should be a comfortable win for Sarri and Co.

Tushar Bahl: SOU 0-2 CHE

Eden Hazard has looked unstoppable so far this season and he will lead Chelsea to yet another comfortable win this weekend. Southampton look set for yet another relegation fight and its unlikely that they will cause Chelsea too many problems

Reyhan Nath: SOU 0-2 CHE

Eden Hazard. Enough said. The only reason this scoreline isn’t higher is because Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud have been embarrassing and seem like they wouldn’t find the net even if they walked through it.

Shawn Ivan D’souza: SOU 0-3 CHE

Eden Hazard masterclass on the card once again this weekend. Big week for his FPL owners.

Karl Harrington: SOU 0-2 CHE

These are the games Chelsea must win to mount any sort of title challenge. Have a game Thursday but should be a good opportunity for some fringe players.

Ryan Wrenn: SOU 0-2 CHE

Chelsea played up to the level of their competition against Liverpool just one week after failing to break down a good-but-inferior West Ham side. Southampton might find some hope in that, but they are going to need to learn how to score if they hope to avoid defeat against the Blues on Sunday.
