Chelsea will look to stay within reach of the pack of the clubs currently leading the Premier League when the Blues travel to St. Mary's to take on ...

Thomas Tuchel has been forced into a formational change, switching to a 4-3-3 after the late absence of Reece James due to illness. He's dispossessed at first, but the ball sticks in the ground, and Sterling recovers to hit the loose ball home. It's an incredible accomplishment to stay with a top club that long, and the Spaniard earns yet another milestone appearances with today's spot-start in place of Reece James. A late illness sees Reece James miss out, forcing Thomas Tuchel into a formational change, but it's Hakim Ziyech — rumored to be on his way out of the club — who's chosen as the additional attacker, with Pulisic still stuck on the bench. The England international chooses to go by himself, and his hesitation sees Bella-Kotchap produce a stunning tackle to keep Sterling from even having a hit. The Southampton defense is carved to pieces by Mount and Havertz, with the former finding Sterling at the top edge of the six-yard box. Azpilicueta puts a dangerous change out for a corner, and Saints take advantage of the set-piece. Sterling wins a foul and makes his way gingerly to his feet, but there's no further punishment for the Saints captain. Armstrong is left all along in the center of the 18-yard box, and his finish is a simple one as he collects the cross from Perraud and deposits it moments before halftime. On the first, he nips the ball off Azpilicueta but fails to take the split-second shot, and his pull-back for arriving reinforcements is blocked. Mary's to take on Southampton in their fifth match of the campaign. 49th min: It's been a frenetic start to the second-half.

The game takes place at St Mary's with a 7.45pm kick-off on Tuesday. Where can I watch the game? The match will be shown live on BT Sport 2 with coverage ...

“What will matter at Southampton is the same, find a way to win, step up individually and push the team from my side. “This is also good to see, the reverse gear is important against every team, against this top team even more. The 111 games played to date have seen 49 Chelsea wins, 31 for the Saints and 31 draws. Jeremy Wilson has also looked at why Sterling is looking a good fit in that role for Chelsea. The match will be shown live on BT Sport 2 with coverage starting at 7.15pm. Here’s all you need to know about the match.

Chelsea travel to the south coast on Tuesday night hoping to pick up maximum points once again having beaten Leicester last time out.

That leaves the Chelsea midfield again in flux, as Thomas Tuchel looks to find a partner for Jorginho in the middle. That would see Billy Gilmour included in the midfield as Tuchel switches from a back-three to a traditional back-four. In the Chelsea attack, Mason Mount has struggled to start the Premier League season, hauled off at halftime against Leicester City. These two teams profile similarly, as they struggle through the first 45 minutes before opening up the attack after the break. Southampton are prone to some ugly results over the years under Ralph Hassenhuttl, who does not back down from top-tier opposition. Che Adams has been bright up front this year, first off the bench and then earning a place in the starting lineup, but his misses against Man United were costly. With the short rest, Oriol Romeu could also be deployed in midfield to keep bodies fresh. The story of the match for the Saints was missed chances, coming up empty despite putting 17 shots up on the Red Devils and collecting 1.45 expected goals. Across all competitions, Southampton have only beaten Chelsea once in their last 15 meetings, courtesy of a 2-0 victory at St. Their last meeting here ended in a brutal 6-0 drubbing, with Timo Werner and Mason Mount each bagging a brace. Chelsea weathered the Leicester City storm as well, surviving 17 shots while conceding just once. Mary's to take on Southampton in EPL action.

Southampton host Chelsea at St Mary's Stadium on Tuesday with the visitors hoping to kick on after a topsy-turvy start to the season.

Tuchel saw his side lose Conor Gallagher to a red card in the first half but Raheem Sterling struck twice (and the post) and the 10 men battled hard to hold off Leicester for a big win following their defeat at Leeds the weekend before. The Blues will be without the suspended Conor Gallagher but Kalidou Koulibaly is back after serving his one-game ban for being sent off at Leeds. Che Adams had a few good chances, while Saints’ other opportunities just fell to the wrong players and they could have easily had a penalty kick when Scott McTominay handled the ball in the penalty box three times in the space of a few seconds. Saints only have one injury problem and that is Chelsea academy product Tino Livramento. N’Golo Kante is out with a hamstring issue, while Marcos Alonso isn’t available as he’s still completing his move to Barcelona. Aside from that, Ralph Hasenhuttl was very happy with how his young side is gelling.

Chelsea travel to Southampton on Tuesday hoping to record back-to-back victories for the first time in the Premier League this season.

Chelsea sit three points above Southampton in the Premier League table and were made to work hard in their 2-1 win over Leicester, after Conor Gallagher was shown an early red card. Southampton will be attempting to upset the odds again this evening after they took on Erik ten Hag’s expensively-assembled Manchester United side last time out. Ralph Hassenhuttl's team also have a lower win rate on Tuesdays than they do any other day of the week in the Premier League (21% - 9/44). Chelsea have scored in their last 17 Premier League away games against Southampton. Midfielder Conor Gallagher is absent from the match for Chelsea after being sent off against Leicester. Do take this with a pinch of salt as this is yet to be confirmed and the official line-ups will be announced at 6:45 pm. The Chelsea defender has played every minute of the opening four games and has taken on a slightly new role in Thomas Tuchel's side this season playing in the back three. Tonight's game promises to be a thrilling encounter. Southampton lost that one, falling to a 1-0 defeat thanks to Bruno Fernandes’ winner, but Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side equipped themselves well and will be hoping of an improved result tonight. Nevertheless, he has still managed to produce a goal and assist with the latter coming against Leicester just three days ago.
