Third meets fifth in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon as Chelsea host Southampton.

Jose Mourinho’s men go into the game of the back of Tuesday evening’s Champions League defeat to Basel, while in the league they have lost just one in eight, and thumped West Ham United 3-0 last weekend.

Samuel Eto’o has been ruled out after picking up a hamstring injury midweek so Fernando Torres is set to lead the line, while the game has come to soon or David Luiz, who has only recently returned to training after a knee problem.

Torres is priced at 6.0 (5/1) with Bet Victor to open the scoring, with Eden Hazard priced at 8.5 (15/2) with the same firm.

The home win is available at 1.62 (8/13) with Southampton as highly priced as the 7.0 (6/1) on offer from Stan James. The draw is a 4.2 (16/5) shot with Bet Victor.

The visitors lost for the first time in nine league games last time out, falling to a 2-0 defeat to league leaders Arsenal, though they can leapfrog their opponents if they take all three points here.

Both Jack Cork and Gaston Ramirez are both available for Mauricio Pochettino’s men having recovered from their respective injuries.

Rickie Lambert is 13.0 (12/1) with Bet Victor to get the first goal of the game, with Jay Rodriguez a 15.0 (14/1) shot with the same firm.

A second half fight-back salvaged a point for Southampton in last season’s corresponding fixture; while they made it four points from six available against the Blues with a 2-1 victory at St Mary’s back in March.

With Chelsea still unbeaten at home under Mourinho, few would bet against the hosts getting a result here, and a home win with both teams to score looks very tempting at 3.5 (5/2) with Coral, who offer a market leading 2.0 (1/1) for there to be three or more goals in the game.

The 2-1 home win is available at 9.0 (8/1) with a variety of first, while Bet Victor offer a price of 11.0 (10/1) for the Blues to win from behind.
