Referee: Michael Oliver (Northumberland) MATCH FACTS Head-to-head Chelsea have won their last five league and cup games against Southampton, scoring a total of 15 goals. Saints' last win against the Blues was a 4-2 victory at Stamford Bridge on New Year's Day 2002 when James Beattie scored twice for the visitors. Chelsea The Blues have failed to score in four of their last six league and cup games at Stamford Bridge. However, in the two matches in which they did score they netted a total of 14 goals (against Nordsjaelland and Aston Vila). They last lost back-to-back Premier League home games in November 2011, when they were beaten by Arsenal and then Liverpool. Chelsea have not lost a Premier League home match against a newly-promoted club since a 1-0 defeat to Charlton in 2001, a run of 34 matches. Frank Lampard has scored seven goals in his last eight Premier League starts. Southampton The Saints have lost two of their last 11 league games (W4, D5, L2). Rickie Lambert has netted in four of their previous five away league games, including the last three. Southampton could record back-to-back away wins in the Premier League for the first time since September 2001, when they won at Bolton and then Middlesbrough.
Time to sort it out at the bridge. Southampton to park the double decker and Chelsea will need to smash one in early, the longer it goes the more jittery it will get with echoes of qpr and swansea drifting around the stands.

David Luiz passing is aboslutely immaculate. He's pumping 60 yard balls with pinpoint accuracy with his week foot.
Not including tonight's game: Chelsea's PL record when 2+ goals up at half-time is W87 D1 L1, with the only defeat coming v Norwich in Sept 1992. Rafa not doing his best to endear himself to the fans, really.
Yeah we let our guard down big time after coasting the first half This doesnt ooze confidence with Arsenal at home come Sunday
I can't say how farking fuming I am. Rafa hasn't a clue at the moment. In our last 3 games we have lost 1-0 to QPR. 2-0 to Swansea. And drawn 2-2 with Southampton. That simply is not farking good enough. Shameful. Arsenal will walk all over us on Sunday and I wouldn't be surprised if they tonked us. Embarrassing
