Southampton vs Chelsea prediction and odds: Raheem Sterling tipped to maintain goalscoring form

Chelsea will be looking to boost their morale further as they search for back-to-back wins when they travel down to face a Southampton side who are still trying to find their feet this season. After a shocking defeat at Elland Road against Leeds United, Thomas Tuchel's side done well to return to winning ways against Leicester City despite Conor Gallagher receiving a red card.

The Blues travel to St Mary's Stadium at 4/6 favourites with Betway while Southampton are 4/1 and a draw is 3/1. It is almost a second home to Tuchel's side with the London club picking up 11 wins, five draws and just one defeat at the Hampshire club in the Premier League - including a nine-match unbeaten run.

It seems to have taken longer than expected for life under Todd Boehly to start positively after a win at Goodison Park at the start of the season, the Blues dropped two points against Tottenham Hotspur then suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat to Leeds United before beating Leicester City at home. Thomas Tuchel returns to the touchline after serving a ban after his confrontation with Antonio Conte but discipline is clearly an issue too with Blues with back-to-back red cards for Kalidou Koulibaly and Gallagher.
