Chelsea returned as two goals each by Timo Werner and Mason Mount and first half by Marcos Alonso and Kai Havertz registered a 6-0 Premier League win over Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium on Saturday. Chelsea went 1-0 up in the eighth minute as Alonso ran on a clever blow by Mount and blasted his first league goal since the opening day of the campaign.

Match report

Chelsea’s leading scorer in the league this season Mount equaled his tally of nine goals from the previous campaign with a brilliant shot from outside the box after failing to tackle Southampton’s shaky defense Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s cross.

Southampton’s fall continued as Werner made up for his previous lapses by beating Jan Bednarek for pace before scoring Fraser Forster’s goal and ending in an empty net. Havertz slipped into fourth at Chelsea after Werner hit the post again.

It was the seventh time Southampton conceded four or more in the first half of a league game under Ralph Hasenhutl, prompting home fans another humiliation on the lines of the 9–0 defeats by Leicester City and Manchester United the previous season. Fear arose in between.

A relentless Chelsea was rewarded again after the break as Werner tapped into a rebound from an N’Golo Kante effort, which was saved by Forster. Mount finished the round with another easy finish in the 54th minute.

“It gives us the confidence to win and get that feeling back. I said every game is a final and it started today. We need to keep that going,” Mount said.

It was the perfect tonic for the European champions, who were beaten 3-1 by Real Madrid in the opening leg of their Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday after being beaten 4-1 by Brentford last weekend.

Chelsea is faltering. Having dealt effectively with their off-field struggles in recent weeks, the Blues have lost two to Brentford and Real Madrid, scoring two and conceding seven. Southampton, then, would smell blood in Saturday’s match at St Mary’s, despite going four games without a win. Make sure you know how to watch Southampton vs Chelsea live stream wherever you are.

The teams are in and Southampton Stuart Armstrong comes into midfield for Ibrahima Diallo, while Adam Armstrong replaces the ineligible Armando Broza after last weekend’s draw at Leeds. Captain James Ward-Prause starts in central midfield, with Tino Livramento and Kyle Walker-Peters at full-back.

For Chelsea, Matteo Kovacic comes in for Hakim Ziyech – Mason Mount goes in the front three with Timo Werner and Kai Havertz – while Andreas Christensen replaces Cesar Azpilicueta in defense from a team losing at Brentford a week ago.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel will be seeking feedback from his players after two poor performances at Stamford Bridge in five days last week. A 4-1 Premier League loss to Brentford could be dismissed as an aberration, but Real Madrid dominated the Blues in the first leg of Wednesday night’s Champions League quarter-finals and a return fixture to restore some confidence before the fixture. Needs a win. Bernabeu.

With German boss Andreas Christensen, in particular, struggling against Los Blancos, the rear could shift. Thankfully, though, Reece James is now back again.

Betting odds

Despite last week’s results, bookmakers are hopeful that Chelsea will return against Southampton, and the West London team is still the favourite.

That being said, the odds on the hosts are not as long as they would have been, and it looks like a goal-rich game is expected, with the away team’s superior firepower on top.
