Chelsea FC Starting XI Prediction at Southampton FC

October 4, 2019 By 6 Comments

Chelsea visits Southampton on Sunday in a renewal of a series that has been extremely lopsided lately. Saints have won only two of their last 20 Premier League meetings with Chelsea (D6, L12) and are winless in their last seven. Meanwhile the St. Mary’s Stadium has been a great place to go for Chelsea, as the west London side have won on nine of their 12 (D2, L1) that they have played there.

On Sunday, the Blues will look to win their fifth in a row in at the venue. The match comes right before another international break, a period that will see the first ever England call-up for Blues defender Fikayo Tomori.

Chelsea FC head to struggling Southampton on Sunday in a Premier League fixture that precedes the second international break of the season. The Blues are coming off a 2-1 victory, exactly as we predicted, over Lille in midweek Champions League competition.

Chelsea are really starting to show signs of coming together under young manager Frank Lampard’s master plans of highlighting his youth players. The plan doesn’t include £54 million 21-year-old winger Christian Pulisic however. The American who was acquired from Borussia Dortmund was left out entirely of the UCL squad, after having been benched in three of the previous four.

Having lost two of their last three and sitting seventh place in the table, Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino knows it’s circle the wagons time. Spurs crashed out of the EFL Cup in midweek and their Champions League campaign got off to a suboptimal start.

With that in mind, the bookies have Pochettino as the favorite in their next Premier League manager to get sacked category. Poch says the situation is not as bad as it may seem though.

Manchester United Starting XI Prediction at Southampton FC

August 28, 2019 By 13 Comments

Anthony Martial who has two goals in three games thus far for Manchester United this season, suffered a muscular injury in his left thigh during the home loss to Crystal Palace last weekend. The Frenchman now faces a race against time to be fit for the final Premier League clash before the first international break, Saturday at Southampton FC.

If Martial can’t go, and Alexis Sanchez finalizing his move to Inter Milan, options could be limited in attack, and thus creativity will be required by manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer for his selection in the final third.

Manchester United head to the south coast to take on a surprisingly in-form Southampton side in what will be the very first match of the final Premier League weekend ahead of the international break.

Saints have not beaten United at the St. Mary’s since 2003, but they do get the Red Devils at a time when the Old Trafford outfit is licking their wounds. Of course, they have their own issues when it comes to the team fitness situation. They will still be without long-term absentee Sam McQueen (ACL), as well as a trio of attackers.

Unless the likes of Leicester, Everton or even Wolves get their act together, there is little chance that the ‘big six’ are going to be disturbed at the top of the Premier League this season.

However, at the bottom of the Premier League table, things are looking much more interesting. Newly promoted clubs like Aston Villa, Sheffield United and Norwich City will find it tough to play against top-flight sides.
