On Saturday, the Blues host Southampton at Stamford Bridge, as they attempt to make up ground on leaders Manchester City.
Last time out the champions recorded a 3-1 win at struggling Huddersfield to at least keep pace with United. The win means that the home side have now won seven of their last nine league games.
The Blues also have a strong home record in the Premier League. They have won five of their last seven home games in the top-flight. The Blues have also been prolific on home soil in the top-flight, scoring two or more goals in nine of their last 13 home games.
Southampton heads to Stamford Bridge in poor form. The Saints are currently 11th place in the Premier League table but are just four points above the relegation zone. If results go against them this weekend then Mauricio Pellegrino’s side will be looking nervously over their shoulders at the teams below.
The visitors have failed to win in their last four Premier League games while recording just one league win from their last eight top-flight outings.
Pellegrino’s side also have a poor record away record in the Premier League, as they have failed to win any of their last five away games in the top-flight, claiming three draws and losing twice.
The south coast side have scored in five of their last six away games in the Premier League, but have failed to score more than once in all six games.
Forebet predicts that Chelsea will come out on top in this clash in a high scoring encounter.
