Southampton host Chelsea on Sunday, and the away team will be in good spirits having recorded wins in their last three games in all competitions. The hosts, meanwhile, are in a rut having lost their last two Premier League games on the bounce.
The Saints are 14th on the table with 7 points in 7 games, while the Blues are 7th on the table with 11 points in 7 games.
Let’s take a look in detail of this clash between these two sides in this preview.
Southampton: Right-back Cedric Soares and Moussa Djenepo are the two players that will miss the key game for Southampton. Summer signing Che Adams was not a part of Southampton’s squad for last weekend’s loss against Tottenham, but we could see him return to the squad after getting a rest last weekend.
Southampton: Angus Gunn; Jannik Vestergaard, Jan Bednarek, Maya Yoshida; James Ward-Prowse, Ryan Bertrand; Oriol Romeu, Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg; Sofiane Boufal, Danny Ings, Che Adams
Southampton: Sofiane Boufal has looked in spurts this season and he will really need to step up if the Saints are to get any points against Chelsea.
The tricky attacker has two assists to his name this season. Boufal will have to play close to the likes of Danny Ings and feed balls to him, while also drop deep and pick up the ball from midfield areas.
