Chelsea and Southampton will be desperate to get back to winning ways when they meet at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday. The 2024/25 Premier League season continues with Gameweek 27, kicking off with three simultaneous matches before ending with Chelsea hosting Southampton in the final game of the day.
Sometime back, Chelsea looked like an unexpected contender in the title race. However, poor form has seen the Blues drop out of the top four, winning just two of their last ten league matches. Enzo Maresca’s side has slipped from second to seventh in the standings, with their latest setback being a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa, their third straight domestic loss.
