Southampton vs Chelsea prediction
Chelsea are looking good under Enzo Maresca and they are only third to Arsenal by alphabetical order after an identical opening 13 games.
The Blues are two points ahead of Brighton and Man City and can extend the lead to ensure a nice gap within the top three over the relegation favourites.
Southampton are rock bottom of the table with only five points picked up so far and are as many as four points off three other sides also contending with a relegation battle.
With the Saints unsurprisingly conceding plenty in this run Chelsea look the justified odds-on favourites having scored an average of two goals per game.
Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson have been the big factors in succeeding so far, with 12 goals each in all competitions and look certain to be involved again in this clash.

Southampton vs Chelsea betting tip
Jackson has scored eight goals in just 13 appearances so far this Premier League campaign and looks set to demolish his previous tally of 14 last season.
Palmer is also on eight but with six assists making him have an average of over one goal involvement per game.
They are more than likely to get a goal involvement each in a game against the bottom of the table as Chelsea themselves look to extend their unbeaten run of five in the Premier League to six.
The Blues only most recent loss came against Liverpool the clear league leaders in a close 2-1 defeat and prior to that lost only to Man City in the opening game of the season.
This has the makings of a game with plenty of goals in a big scoreline for those facing the struggling side and there have been some big scoring wins for Chelsea before to suggest it’s more than possible.
Including 6-2 over Wolves back in August, 4-1 against Panathinaikos, 4-2 over Brighton, and 8-0 when facing Noah in the Europa Conference League.
- Palmer to assist & score and Jackson to score at 13/2 on Betfred
- Chelsea to win by 4+ at 11/2 on Betfred
