Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Premier League fixture between Chelsea and Southampton. We'll bring you all the action as it happens at Stamford Bridge. Kick off is at 15:00.

Chelsea have been the better team and that is now reflected in the scoreline. Southampton haven't started at all. Another goal for the Blues from a set piece play.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Chelsea 1 (8 mins - Trevoh Chalobah) Southampton 0. It's an early goal for Chelsea and Chalobah has the ball in the back of the net! The flick on was made at the near post from a corner kick and the defender was on hand at the back post to head home from close range! The Blues are ahead!

This has been rather impressive from Chelsea early on here. There's a zip to their play that was lacking in the defeats to Manchester City and Juventus. They are on top.

It's been a bright start from Chelsea. Hudson-Odoi and Werner have been lively in the opening five minutes or so with Southampton having to do some early defending.

Chance for Werner! An early opportunity for Chelsea to find the back of the net with Werner getting the shot away from a tight angle, but McCarthy makes the save with his feet!

What sort of match will we get this afternoon? Chelsea come into this game on the back of two damaging defeats to Chelsea in the Premier League and Juventus in the Champions League.

The match is under way! It's Chelsea against Southampton in this Premier League fixture!

Okay, here we go. We are about to get under way at Stamford Bridge. Kick off is moments away.

Hudson-Odoi has been handed a starting place on the wing. The youngster has to take this opportunity impress!

The two teams are in the tunnel at Stamford Bridge. Looks like a chilly afternoon in London for this one!

Not long until kick off at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea need to produce a response after the defeats to Manchester City and Juventus. They are better than they have shown recently.

Mason Mount is back for Chelsea, but he's only on the bench for the Stamford Bridge side. Meanwhile, there's a first start of the season for Southampton's Nathan Tella.

Chilwell starts! There's no sign of Marcos Alonso in the Chelsea lineup and that means there's a place for Ben Chilwell who will need to make the most of this rare opportunity.
