Follow all the action from Stamford Bridge
Follow live coverage as Chelsea face Southampton in the Premier League today.
The Blues are desperate to find some consistent winning form, with Graham Potter under some pressure to find a way to gel his expensively put-together squad and lift them from mid-table anonymity. The likes of Myhkailo Mudryk, Enzo Fernandez and Joao Felix all arrived in January but they remain 10th in the table with just one win in six.
Saints, meanwhile, are staring relegation in the face if they don’t improve fast; they have lost their last three, are four points from safety and remain managerless after sacking Nathan Jones are barely three months. Talks with Jesse Marsch did not yield a resolution, meaning Ruben Selles is in the dugout for today’s game.

The Saints record a league double over Chelsea for the first time since 1993, giving their survival hopes a huge shot in the arm.

WIDE! Mudryk lines up a blast on the half-volley from the edge of the box. He connects well with his strike, but it sails agonisingly wide of the target.
