  • 45+1' GOAL!! SOUTHAMPTON: James Ward-Prowse fires home a beauty of a freekick to give the Saints a 1-0 lead against Chelsea. #CHESOU

  • 34' This Chelsea team don't quite look like they've gelled yet. The quality differs across all aspects of the team, it almost looks like a mismatch. Still waiting for the opener though. #CHESOU
  • 30 minutes played in all match centres and no goals to report yet. Wonder what's the hold up.....#PL #CHESOU
  • Well it's the story of the New Year for Chelsea. The Blues drop far too many points because they fail to take their chances. They need goals and they need points to finish the season strongly. #CHESOU
  • 28' CHANCE!! Cesar Azpilicueta finds the side netting. What a chance that was after a brilliant passage of play. #CHESOU
  • 24 minutes gone at Stamford Bridge and sit's seemed an even contest so far. No goals yet but it's been a half-chance fest. #CHESOU
  • Hmmm. A bit strange but it's 20 minutes played now and still no goals in any of the games in the Premier League. Who will opne the scoring? #PL #CHESOU
  • 14 minutes played in all match centres and still no goals yet. If you played 10 minutes draw in your tickets. I'm pretty sure you can be pleased. #PL #CHESOU
  • KICK OFF!! And we're underway at the Bridge. It's Chelsea vs Southampton. #CHESOU
  • #CHESOU: Here's how both teams line up
  • The fixture at Stamford Bridge is set for the 4:00 PM WAT kick off. For fans who would like to follow the action in other match centres, not to worry, as we'll be delivering updates from other match venues as it happens, with six fixtures including Manchester City who would be looking to return back to the top of the table following Arsenal's comeback win against Aston Villa earlier today. 
  • Nathan Jones was sacked on Monday as the Southampton manager, after only winning one Premier League match during his time in charge of Saints. The visitors continue their search for a new manager as they seek to avoid relegation this season.
  • Chelsea have looked a shadow of their former self in recent weeks, but finally hope to return to winning ways against the bottom-placed side on the summit.
  • A win for Chelsea today could help their ambitions of playing European football this season. Graham Potter's Men have failed to win any game since the start of the new year, despite the arrival of attractive talents at the club in January.
