Preview
Chelsea and Southampton face at Stamford Bridge, in a match for the 18th round of the Premier League. The head‑to‑head history at this stadium, favours the home team, since in the last 5 head‑to‑heads they won 2, tied 2 and lost 1. Accordingly, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Premier League, on 25‑04‑2017, Chelsea won by (4‑2). E. Hazard (5' ), G. Cahill (45' ) and Diego Costa (53' and 89' ) scored for Chelsea and Oriol Romeu (24' ) and R. Bertrand (90' ) for Southampton. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Chelsea

The home team is currently in the 3rd position of the league, with 35 points won, after 11 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against West Ham United, by (1‑0). In the last match, they won in an away match against Huddersfield Town, by (1‑3). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 29 goals scored and 14 conceded; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 33 goals scored and 18 conceded. In the last 8 home league matches Chelsea has a record of 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, so they have won 16 points out of 24 possible.

They have won the last 4 home matches for this competition. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (4 out of 8 matches). Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. 5 of their last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Chelsea comes motivated for this match after a 3-0 win against Huddersfield: Bakayoko, Willian and Pedro scored the winning goals. The home team usually flanks, being the three forward players William, Pedro and Hazard. In any case, the home team is also able to practice a football in ball possession, progressing in the pitch through short passes. One of the great valences of the home team is the effective way they can defend dead ball shots. It’s foreseeable the home team’s coach has all the squad at his disposal.

Confirmed Lineup: Thibaut Courtois, Victor Moses, Marcos Alonso, Gary Cahill, Andreas Christensen, César Azpilicueta, Tiemoué Bakayoko, N'Golo Kanté, Eden Hazard, Pedro, Willian.
Coach: M. Pochettino Trossero.

Analysis Southampton

The away team is currently in the 11th position of the league, with 18 points won, after 4 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Arsenal, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Leicester City, by (1‑4). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 14 goals scored and 21 conceded. Their last away match for this competition ended in a draw by (1‑1) against AFC Bournemouth. In the last 7 away league matches Southampton has a record of 1 win, 3 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 6 points out of 21 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 5 away matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 8 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 9 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Southampton comes unmotivated for this match after a home defeat, by 1-4, against Leicester. Contrary to the "enemy" of this round, Southampton usually plays in 4-3-3, favoring a more offensive match where the three forward players are Redmond, Austin and Ward-Prowse. The visiting team usually practices a football in counterattacks, more disorganized, trying to take advantage of any mistake of the opponent. The coach Mauricio Pellegrino should have all the players at his disposal.

Confirmed Lineup: Fraser Forster, Cédric Soares, Ryan Bertrand, Wesley Hoedt, Maya Yoshida, Jack Stephens, James Ward-Prowse, Oriol Romeu, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Nathan Redmond, Manolo Gabbiadini.
Coach: R. Hasenhüttl.
