Chelsea look set to extend their unbeaten streak to seven games as they visit Southampton tonight.

Southampton, on the other hand, have seen a dip in form recently, going winless in their last three matches with two losses and a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Brighton.

At home, they've been competitive, often battling opponents on equal bases. However, a lack of squad rotation has frequently led to disappointing results.

For this clash, Southampton face additional challenges with a lengthy injury list, missing key players like Bednarek, Dibling, Downes, Lallana, Ramsdale, and Onuachu.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are hitting their stride as the season progresses, solidifying their position as unexpected contenders for a top-three Premier League spot. Currently in red-hot form, they are defensively solid and clinical in attack, finishing games with ease. Notably, Chelsea boast the second-best away record in the league, after Liverpool, having earned 13 points from six matches with a goal difference of 14:6.
