Current form: Chelsea vs Southampton
Chelsea ended 2018 with a narrow win over fellow London side Crystal Palace, and now the Blues, who sit in fourth spot, will be hoping to kick off 2019 with a win as they welcome struggling Southampton to Stamford Bridge. Maurizio Sarri's side are just two points behind Tottenham, and with Manchester City facing a tough test against Liverpool, Chelsea could potentially close the gap on the top two sides with a good result against the struggling Saints.
Meanwhile, Southampton are in 17th place, and only out of the relegation zone based on goal difference. The Saints come into this game having lost their last two games, a disappointing return after seemingly turning a corner with two back to back wins against Arsenal and Huddersfield that temporarily helped them out of trouble, but losses to West Ham and most recently, Manchester City, have sent them back down the table in what has been a miserable first half of the season for the side.
