Southampton have really turned their season around since Christmas. They're up to sixth in the table on 40 points, an achievement their local newspaper celebrated as it means they're unlikely to get relegated now!!  The last five league games have produced 13 points and no goals conceded with goalie Fraser Forster closing in on a Southampton record for longest time without conceding a league goal. The last home league games have been won by an aggregate of 10-0 and that includes big wins over Arsenal and West Ham. However, the last four league games have produced just three goals. Chelsea are still only 12th in the table but a win over sixth placed Southampton would take them to within four points of the Saints. Chelsea still haven't lost in the Premier League since Jose Mourinho was sacked. They've won two of their last four away league games but there aren't that many goals being scored with a 3-0 win at Palace but the other three games only producing one goal. You can see why I'm hedging towards a bet on under 2.5 goals here on what should be a tight game.
