Chelsea v Southampton is under the tactical microscope. It’s Saturday’s game at 3 p. m. and it may be crazy . . .
There is a different option that this is another of this season’s strangely open Premier League matches. Chelsea are notoriously porous in the attack-defence transition, as was recently noticed in the 3–3 draw with West Brom, while 5 Southampton. -2 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur is due greatly to Ralph Hasenhuttl’s naively superior defensive line.
And so Chelsea’s offensive mindset deserves to give them the lion’s possession percentage, scored by Timo Werner’s careers, a feature not unusual in Brighton’s defeat on the first day, trapping the Saints at the top of the field, as they did when Heung-Min Son continually came face-to-face with the goalkeeper.
But Southampton will turn their backs on Danny Ings if Moussa Djenepo and Stuart Armstrong manage from the flanks to climb bodies in an empty Chelsea midfield. It deserves to be some other frantic end-to-end match.
Back at 3. 5 on 7/5 (Betfair)
Central warfare in the midfield is very important. Frank Lampard’s inability to boost structured property means that his players, in his search for space, are too stretched over the width and intensity of the field. Chelsea’s midfield, creating very important counterattack opportunities that publicize Lampard’s team’s vulnerability in the transition.
Once again, Southampton has obviously missed Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, so this season he may not control Tottenham’s midfielder in his only 2020/21 Big Six game, so if Mason Mount and Matteo Kovacic can explore the spaces harry Kane fell into. in this 5-2, then the saints are in trouble.
Return to Chelsea to win with a handicap from -1 to 13/10 (Paddy Power)
Now that Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech are in a position to begin, Lampard has a serious variety headache in the last 3rd Will he dare to give up one of his signatures Kai Havertz or Timo Werner, considering that neither has set a purpose or helped this?Or will Tammy Abraham give way to a more exciting option?There is a disorganization, even a possibility, in the way Chelsea has aligned so far. Lampard wants to locate a formula that makes sense.
It’s also worth watching for the precise intensity with which Hasenhuttl launches his defensive line after the crisis in front of the Spurs. In fact, he probably wouldn’t put his team up so high, and in fact, if he falls into a more conservative midfield block, we probably couldn’t get that top game.
Havertz might not have had a smart start, however, he had a silent influence against Brighton, his clever touches and shots around the corner helped move Chelsea ahead and free Werner from behind. weekdays, it will be key to exposing Southampton’s competitive defensive line.
Return Havertz to anytime at 2/1 (Betfair)
