Year-end predictions Chelsea vs Southampton December 26, 2019

Rank 4 Chelsea will host Southampton 17th in Week 19 of the Premier League 2019/20, Thursday (12/26/2019). The match at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea need to maximize this fight to maintain consistency before heading for the Arsenal counter derby in their next match.

Last weekend, Chelsea won an impressive victory at Tottenham's headquarters. Frank Lampard successfully brought his team beat Jose Mourinho's troops 2-0 through a pair of Willian goals (1 penalty).

However, there is one thing that is still worrying about Chelsea. They took turns winning and losing in their last six matches in all competitions. The last time they won consecutive wins was in October 2019.

Lampard needs to improve on the consistency of his team's performance. Because, after this, Sunday (12/29/2019), the Blues will play away against Arsenal.

Seeing the record of the meeting, Chelsea deserve to be favored. However, Chelsea must also be vigilant.

Southampton have just bent the hosts Aston Villa 3-1 through two Danny Ings goals and one Jack Stephens goal. Southampton can be troublesome. Ings, who has scored seven goals in his last seven appearances for Southampton in the Premier League, is the biggest threat to Chelsea.
