Chelsea are flying high in the Premier League after an impressive turnaround in fortunes in recent weeks…
A minor blip against West Ham in the EFL Cup aside, Chelsea are a team that is definitely on the up.
Antonio Conte has shifted to a 3 man defence, and it would appear to have worked wonders. Chelsea’s faltering defence appears to have improved, whilst Diego Costa and Eden Hazard are proving deadly in front of goal.
This weekend represents a very significant challenge against Southampton, in a game that Chelsea will be expected to win.
Antonio Conte must ensure that the Blues’ heads don’t drop after the defeat at West Ham in the week – and so a win is absolutely essential.
With that said, this 3-4-3 Chelsea XI will definitely beat Southampton on Sunday…
