Puel wants an improvement

Show/hide article…

Saints head to Stamford Bridge looking to earn a win that would reinforce their position in the top half of the table and disrupt the Blues’ title bid.

After a 3-0 home defeat to City in their last game, Puel says his team have something of a point to prove this evening.

“We know it’s a difficult game, but it’s a good opportunity after our game against Manchester City to produce some good play on the pitch and I hope we can go up against this team,” he said.

Puel is optimistic that Saints, who won 3-1 in the corresponding fixture last season, can cause Chelsea further problems tonight.

“We have good players also,” he said. "It’s important to play. I found against Manchester City it was not enough for us, because we cannot play our game without the good intensity.

“The technical side of it was not enough and it’s important to play without other things in our head. It’s important to play good football and to enjoy our game, because I was frustrated against Manchester City.”

Puel: A good opportunity for us

Show/hide article…

Saints travel to Stamford Bridge looking to make it four wins out of their last five on the road.

Puel knows his side face a significant challenge from this evening’s opponents, but he believes it is a game his players can relish.

“We know this team,” he said. "It is a great team with a fantastic manager and players, but it’s important to stay with a good focus about our game and to enjoy our game.

"It’s difficult to find space against them, because they defend very well with a strong defensive unit and without giving up space, so it’s difficult to find solutions and to find opportunities

“They are also good at recovering the ball and are strong on the counter attack with Eden Hazard and Diego Costa, but it’s a good opportunity for my team and we have got to play a strong game. It’s important for us.”

Chelsea vs Southampton LIVE: Latest score, goal updates, team news, EPL highlights

Show/hide article…

Chelsea, fresh from Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final triumph, can heap more misery on Tottenham and move seven points clear in the Premier League title race when they host Southampton tonight.

A 4-2 win booked a final date with Arsenal next month but now Chelsea - and newly-crowned PFA Player of the Year N’Golo Kante - must turn their attentions back to the league while Southampton’s season meanders towards a mid-table finish.

Antonio Conte: "To win the title in England is a great achievement. To win in England these days is not easy.

“Now it’s a good season. To become a great or fantastic season there is only one way: to try to win.”

Claude Puel: "The best team in the Premier League is the one with the most consistency and, for the moment, that is Chelsea.

“They are a fantastic team that want to win the title, but for us as well it is important to take points.”
