Chelsea will be hoping for some festive cheer at Stamford Bridge on Saturday when they welcome Southampton to west London.
The Blues have been a little up and down of late, with a disappointing derby defeat to West Ham followed by a comfortable victory on the road at Huddersfield.
That success has cemented Antonio Conte’s side inside the Premier League’s top four, but the defending champions have the chasing pack hot on their heels and know they need another positive result against the Saints in order to enter the Christmas period in buoyant mood.
