Southampton vs Chelsea team news
Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Flynn Downes and Tyler Dibling will all miss the visit of Chelsea through suspension after picking up their fifth yellow cards of the season in Saints’ draw with Brighton.
This leaves Russell Martin with a selection headache as he’s also without Aaron Ramsdale, Gavin Bazunu, Adam Lallana and Jan Bednarek because of injury. Furthermore, Ross Stewart, Paul Onuachu and William Smallbone are doubtful.
Wesley Fofana sustained a hamstring injury during Chelsea’s win against Aston Villa.

Southampton vs Chelsea prediction
A feature of Southampton’s season thus far has to be the self-inflicted mistakes that have lead to them conceding goals as it’s cost them dearly on so many occasions.
But their approach won’t change and whilst that bravery is something to be admired, it’s difficult to see past a comfortable Chelsea victory.
