Although, the Blues have their qualification confirmed for next round, their last game against Basel was bitterly disappointing. After match Mourinho said that it was his mistake that the players were tired. So it seems the squad might be in for a shuffle.
So now while taking on the Saints, Chelsea need to keep in mind that Southampton are really good at pressing and if they are tired and take time on the ball they would be punished. They need to quickly move the balls and the role of Ramires should be interesting because he isn't the best passer and tends to hold on to the ball.
As for the Saints, they are right now 5th in the league table, ahead of the likes of Manchester United and Spurs. Competing for a Champions League spot might be a long shot but they could be competing for a Europa League spot and would certainly finish in top half of the table.
What is it going to be today? Well, Chelsea's loss to Basel should act as a wake-up call for Chelsea and they should be fully motivated to put in their best performance against Southampton. But if Chelsea fail to perform, Southampton could really make them pay.
The English Barclays Premier League match is scheduled to be played between Chelsea FC - Southampton FC on Sunday, 1 December at the Stamford Bridge at 16:00 GMT
