Overview
Southampton started this calendar year with two defeats, which included a loss to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup. Following the exit from the cup competition, they have bounced back and are unbeaten since then.
In the last six fixtures, the Saints have gone without conceding a goal and registered five wins. Ronald Koeman will be hoping his side can keep another clean sheet and also hand Guus Hiddink his first defeat in the Premier League since taking charge of the club in December.

Chelsea come into the fixture after registering a crushing 5-1 victory over Manchester City in the FA Cup. The win comes after the Blues were defeated by Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the Champions League.
The west London club are aware of Southampton's impressive run in the Premier League. Chelsea will have to replicate the form they showed against City when they face the Saints to walk away from St Mary's Stadium with three points.
What Managers Say
Ronald Koeman: "(Hiddink and Cruyff) are different as a coach and of course they have a lot of things together about how they like to play football and how the team needs to play, but in different ways. Hiddink is very experienced and it's different in a way how he treats his players."
Guus Hiddink: "He [Radamel Falcao] will not be fit. He is still in treatment. Every now and then he goes in the gym. He is doing exercises there and on the pitch but he is not fit."
