Saturday’s match at St Mary’s Stadium sees Southampton host Premier League leaders Chelsea.

Having strung together a five game winless run in the league recently, Ronald Koeman’s men go in to the game on the back of two straight wins – results that have taken the Saints back into the Champions League qualification places.

Their latest victory came at Crystal Palace on Boxing Day – a result that saw Eagles manager Neil Warnock dismissed from his position to become the first top flight managerial casualty of the season.

The South Coast club have no fresh injury concerns so could be unchanged from the victory at Selhurst Park.

Top scorer Graziano Pelle is priced at 8.5 (17/2) with Bet Victor to get the first goal of the game, with Shane Long a 10.5 (19/2) chance with the same firm.

The home win is as highly priced as the 4.75 (15/4) on offer from Bet 365, with the visitors understandably favourites at 1.87 (20/23) with Bet Victor. The draw is widely available at 3.75 (11/4).

The Blues men maintained their three points lead at the summit by beating high-flying West Ham United in Friday’s early kick off.

They have won their last five games in all competitions, and remain favourites to win a first league title since 2010.

Manager Jose Mourinho has a fully fit squad to choose from, as he looks for what would be a fifteenth win from nineteen league games, and a twenty-first in all competitions.

Diego Costa, who grabbed his thirteenth league goal of the season last time out, is favourite to open the scoring at 5.5 (9/2) with Bet Victor, ahead of Eden Hazard, who is a 7.5 (13/2) shot with the same company.

Chelsea won both meetings between the sides last season, scoring three times on each occasion and the London side can be backed at 4.4 (17/5) with Coral to hit at least that amount this time around.

Alternatively, as there have been at least three goals in each of their last eight clashes, you may prefer to take advantage of Bet Victor’s offer of 2.15 (23/20) for there to be over 2.5 here.
