Rain of goals from away team

Two struggling sides will look to restore Premier League parity on Tuesday night, as Chelsea host relegation-threatened Southampton at Stamford Bridge.

Enzo Maresca's side are on a three-game losing streak in all competitions, with their most recent defeat coming against Aston Villa 2-1. Meanwhile, Southampton were completely outclassed in a 4-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, continuing their slump.

Latest Chelsea vs Southampton squad information

Chelsea's woes were compounded on Saturday night when Trevoh Chalobah was forced off after just eight minutes with a back injury, but manager Enzo Maresca provided a more positive than worrying update after the game.

However, with a tight schedule, Chalobah may have to sit out along with injured names such as Omari Kellyman, Noni Madueke, Benoit Badiashile, Wesley Fofana, Nicolas Jackson, Romeo Lavia and Marc Guiu. In addition, Mykhaylo Mudryk will also be absent due to suspension.

Tosin Adarabioyo is likely to replace Chalobah in defence, while Reece James played the full 90 minutes on Saturday but could be rested if Maresca has concerns over the fitness of the oft-injured captain.

Meanwhile, Southampton manager Juric also has a headache with losses in defence. Jan Bednarek left the field early in the defeat to Brighton and is awaiting the results of a medical , while Taylor Harwood-Bellis (ankle) is also a doubt. Jack Stephens, although back, was not used in the previous match.

Southampton are also without Ross Stewart (calf), Ryan Fraser (calf) and Adam Lallana (thigh), while Lesley Ugochukwu – on loan from Chelsea – is unavailable for the clash with his parent club.

Latest Chelsea vs Southampton football review

Chelsea continue to struggle and the goalkeeper problem is becoming a difficult problem that the club's management needs to urgently find a solution for in the summer transfer window. After Robert Sanchez made a series of mistakes and was benched, Filip Jorgensen became the focus of criticism with a forgettable performance at Villa Park.

Although Enzo Fernandez and Marco Asensio helped Chelsea equalize against Aston Villa, when the match entered the 89th minute, Jorgensen made a serious mistake, letting the ball slip through him after Asensio's not-so-difficult volley, causing Chelsea to suffer a third consecutive bitter defeat in all competitions.

Coach Enzo Maresca admitted this was the hardest defeat to swallow since he took over the team, although Chelsea responded positively after the 0-3 defeat at Brighton on February 14. The Blues also extended their winless away run to seven games, including four consecutive defeats.

However, Chelsea can still rest on their home form, having won three of their last four games at Stamford Bridge, scoring at least two goals in each. The only defeat in that run was a surprise defeat to Fulham on Boxing Day.

On the other hand, Southampton are facing the prospect of relegation as they are the top contenders for a return to the Championship. Ivan Juric's team just suffered a heavy 0-4 defeat to Brighton, extending their losing streak in the Premier League to eight.

Only three teams in the history of the competition have endured such a poor run in a single season, and with just nine points from 26 games, Southampton are still one point off the Premier League's worst ever tally (11 points, set by Derby County in 2007-08). To avoid this fateful milestone, they need at least three draws or a win from their remaining 12 games.

Despite their poor form, Southampton still have some hope as their only win in their last 16 games came away to Ipswich Town. They have also scored in four consecutive away games.

The last time Southampton visited Stamford Bridge in February 2023, they surprisingly won 1-0 thanks to a free kick from James Ward-Prowse. However, in their most recent confrontation in December last year, The Saints were destroyed 5-1 by Chelsea right at St Mary's.
