No, Chelsea will wipe the floor with Southampton.
They will drop points at Everton but thats about it.

Hope the players don't give up, which I don't think they will. We need to at least finish second.

We have 4 hard away games:
Palace - on fire
West Ham - their cup final
Leicester - will up their game against us and is never a easy game
Hull - could either be fighting for a win or draw to stay up or might have nothing to play for and beat us 5-1 with 10 men

And 2 hard home games:
United and Arsenal - maybe the last games at the lane, both still fighting to finish in top 4.

2nd from now has to be the aim to consolidate, looking at those fixtures. Finishing below Liverpool, City or even United or Arsenal would be a complete disaster.

Your players are professionals and should fight to the end. I am sure Poch has engraved that message into their heads

It's more likely you will drop points against Palace, I only see Chelsea dropping 2 points between now and season end. Just focus on not bottling 2nd.

Not really. Palace have just come off a tough fixture against Liverpool with a days less rest than us.

Big Sam already said he's going to have to rotate "huge" for the game.

Tough game but reckon a 2-0 win for us ( hopefully )

I would say our hope here is that Chelsea arr a bit leggy from the semi final, having to do a lot of work without the ball, and that 3 days is not enough to get them back to 100%

Saints have also had the weekend off.

Their record at SB is good since they came back up
W1 D2 L1

I do not expect Saints to get anything, but I will take them giving Chelsea a tough game to soften them up for Goodison. Anything else is a bonus

Re our fixtures - we will 99% have to win them all if Chelsea win tonight.

We are playing well (even Saturday) and are a tougher game for our opponents than they are for us. Lets win the next game, then worry about the next one after.

If after Sunday we have it down 1 or 2 points then anything is possible

You never know, with a bit of luck Southampton could take the lead and then it gets a bit awkward for Chelsea. On any given day Southampton can always cause a big team problems.

One thing we can be sure of is they will be fit as fiddles after 9/10 days off.

As long as they make Chelsea work for it it will be beneficial for their trip to Everton

On paper Spurs have the harder fixtures.Chelsea on the other hand have Southampton who have nothing to play for, Everton won't get top 4 now, guaranted European place for next season. Watford and and WestBrom are safe. Middlesbrough and Sunderland already relegated by the time Chelsea play them. Only Everton and WestBrom are away fixtures the remaining four are all at home.

No we're facked

I need a glass of positivity, where is Sandy

They should be, although it doesn't always work like that. Long breaks can sometimes disrupt a team's rhythm. I suppose Southampton don't really have much of a rhythm at the moment as they've been quite inconsistent.

I don't if you've noticed, but since Sandy stopped making those bold predictions, Spurs are doing relatively well

Very true

Southampton are already on the beach with nothing to play for, the title is Chelsea`s. We need to make sure we finish second.

I can see the Saints taking something from today.

Trouble is I can see Palace taking something from us too.

Southampton are already on the beach mentally so I don't see them getting anything tonight.

Chelsea 2 shots on target 2 goals. Chelsea and Arsenal are trying to break a premierleague record for shots on target to goal ratio lol.

Great 4th by Costa. 4-1 to Chelsea now.
