Chelsea FC vs Southampton: Prediction, kick off time today, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, betting odds

Chelsea face Southampton at Stamford Bridge this afternoon looking to get their season back on track after back-to-back defeats against Manchester City and Juventus.

The Blues looked imperious a week ago but lost 1-0 at home to City last weekend and were then beaten by the same scoreline in Turin in the Champions League in midweek.

Those results have left Thomas Tuchel facing some tough questions and he will be hoping Chelsea can respond against Southampton.

The Saints have endured a difficult start to the season and remain winless after four games, though they did hold Manchester City to a 0-0 draw at the Etihad two weeks ago.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Chelsea vs Southampton is scheduled for an 3pm BST kick-off at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
