Southampton vs. Chelsea: 0:3 The Blues are coming off a big win away to Southampton. Despite the big final score and the ease with which the win was achieved in the south of England, the Blues did not play without mistakes. The overall superiority of Maurizio Sarri's side in terms of play and statistics was slightly undermined by the number of dangerous situations they created. The luck of the home forwards, the timely and committed play of the Chelsea defenders and, of course, the saves of Kepa Arrizabalaga allowed the Londoners to return from St. Mary's without conceding a goal. Other than that, the Londoners were good, completely outplaying their opponents, dominating possession and making the most of their chances. Victory on the eve of the weekend's marquee match will allow the Blues to spend a few hours at the top of the table, something that was hard to believe at the start of the season.

Leicester 1-2 Southampton: Danny Ings scores late winner Southampton were not motivated by revenge for their 9-0 thrashing by Leicester City in October as they claimed a surprise win at King Power Stadium, says Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl.

The Foxes, who were searching for a third successive league win, took an early lead when Dennis Praet tapped in his first goal for the club. But any thoughts of another easy victory for Brendan Rodgers' side were quickly dispelled when Stuart Armstrong equalised with a deflected shot. Ings, who has now scored 10 goals in his last 10 league starts, was a thorn in Leicester's side all afternoon and having already struck the crossbar twice, he slotted through Kasper Schmeichel's legs late on. Leicester thought they had salvaged a draw with a 90th-minute equaliser from Jo

Report: Southampton 0 Chelsea 3 Eden Hazard’s eighth goal of the season, Ross Barkley’s first in a Chelsea shirt and Alvaro Morata's second strike in four days secured a comfortable victory at St Mary’s this afternoon. The Blues were mostly dominant on the South Coast, but it might have been a different story had Danny Ings converted a golden opportunity when the game was goalless. The league’s topscorer Hazard made the Saints pay on the half-hour after fine work from Barkley, and it was the recently called-up England man who doubled our advantage shortly before the hour to open his Chelsea account. A stunning fingertip save from Kepa Arrizabalaga late on preserved the clean sheet, our fourth of the league campaign, before sub Morata dinked home from Hazard's pass. It rounded off a very successful day indeed ahead of the international break. Maurizio Sarri made a solitary change to the side that started against Liverpool last weekend, bringing in Barkley for Mateo Ko
