After losing to Borussia Dortmund in the week, Chelsea still only have one win in 2023. A 1-1 draw with West Ham last in their last league game could be considered unlucky with a questionable VAR decision, but Graham Potter needs his players to step up and take things into their own hands. Meanwhile, Southampton have parted company with Manager Nathan Jones after a 2-1 defeat to ten-man Wolves proved the final straw. With the Saints winning just one of his eight league games, they are now three points adrift at the bottom of the table.

Chelsea vs Southampton preview
Having spent a record Premier League fee on him, Chelsea will have been pleased with Enzo Fernandez’s debut against West Ham. The World Cup winner set up fellow new signing Joao Felix for the opening goal but Chelsea still couldn’t hold on for the win. For a team that boasts a wealth of attacking talent, Chelsea have underperformed in front of goal with just 23 goals scored so far in the league. That’s less than half of league leaders Man City and Arsenal, teams they would have hoped to compete with this season. In fairness, Chelsea have had a spate of injuries to key players such as full-back Ben Chilwell who could return for this game.
After more than a decade spent consecutively in the Premier League, Southampton look at risk of a return to the Championship. Rock bottom, managerless, and with the second youngest squad in the division, it’s hard to see where any reprieve will come for them. Nathan Jones was not a popular man amongst fans at St Mary’s so perhaps his departure will lift the mood. Saints do have some talented players with the likes of captain James Ward-Prowse and new record signing Kamaldeen Sulemaana but they will need to make sure their next manager is the right one. Southampton actually beat Chelsea earlier this season, but both sides have changed managers since then and the Saints are winless at Stamford Bridge since 2019.
Both of these teams need to change their recent form, and the best place for them to start is to win here, this should make the Chelsea vs Southampton live stream a must-watch.
