Chelsea urgently needs three points when she competes against Southampton on the Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening.
The Blues’ Rut lasted on the weekend when it lost an advantage in the first half and lost 2-1 in Aston Villa, whereby Filip Jorgensen’s outrageous mistake in the dying embers of the competition cost the side of Enzo Maresca.
Chelsea suffers from the absence of a recognized center forward, although her current malaise of Nicolas Jackson’s breach of injury appears in front of the dates. You are now seventh in the table after you apply a potential title candidate for Christmas.
Regardless of how bad things have been in West London lately, Chelsea’s misery cannot compare what the Southampton supporters have endured this semester. The saints remain on nine points and still risk ending the season with the lowest points in the history of the Premier League.
Ivan Juric’s brilliant outfit was thrown aside by Brighton on Saturday and lost 4-0.

Maresca changed in Villa Park Tack on Saturday and decided to use Reece James in midfield and Pedro Neto Up Top. The action initially chose Neto, which increased the opening goal, and we will probably see how the Portuguese international uses again centrally. Nicolas Jackson is out with a thigh injury until after the international break.
Jadon Sancho could come back to the side if James fails, and Fernandez will probably operate alongside Moises Caicedo. The blues cannot currently call Noni Madueke and Romeo Lavia.
In defense, Trevoh Chalobah was withdrawn in Villa Park and is ready with Miss Chelsea’s next two games, while Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiail are still out. Tosin Adarabioyo will probably come back in.
Chelsea predicted line-up against Southampton (4-2-3-1): Jorgensen; Gusto, Tose, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Palmer, Nkunku, Sancho; Neto.
Jan Bednarek was brought up against Brighton on Saturday on Saturday and is a doubt for the trip to West London. Armel Bella-Kotchap will probably start returning to the fitness instead of the Polish international despite Jack Stephen’s.
Taylor Harwood-Bellis will only be back in March due to an ankle injury, and visitors are also without Ross Stewart, Ryan Fraser and Adam Lallana.
Southampton predicted the line-up against Chelsea (3-5-2): Ramsdale; Aribo, Bella-Kotchap, Bree; Sugawara, Gronbaek, Smallbone, Walker-Peter; Fernandes; Onuachu, Sulemana.
Maresca’s changes initially paid themselves dividends at the weekend, but they conquered too much of the initiative for the Aston Villa before they lost late. The blues are stale.
There are serious questions that penetrate this Chelsea team, but no matter how poor you have been lately, you will surely have to win on Tuesday.
Jurics Southampton are no longer competitive. At the beginning of the term of the new manager, there were some positive results, but the saints returned to the latest excursions. You will probably lose again during the week.
