BBC Sport pundit reveals his prediction for Chelsea FC v Southampton

BBC Sport pundit Mark Lawrenson is backing Chelsea to beat Southampton in the Premier League on Boxing Day. The Blues head into the game looking to create back-to-back victories, after beating Tottenham on Sunday. Writing in his column for BBC Sport, Lawrenson said: “Southampton were very impressive in their win at relegation rivals Aston Villa, but so was Chelsea’s performance to beat Tottenham. “It was a huge win for Blues boss Frank Lampard for all sorts of reasons, not least because they had lost four of their previous five league games. “Chelsea’s problem this season has been consistency and Southampton will make things difficult for them but, after beating Spurs, I don’t think they will follow that up by dropping points here.”  Source- thesportreview
