Chelsea have secured their third consecutive Premier League win after beating rock-bottom Southampton 5-1 on the south coast on Wednesday night.
It only took Axel Disasi seven minutes to score the opening goal before Joe Aribo provided a quick response with an equaliser for the hosts. The Blues then led by two goals, at the interval, thanks to Christopher Nkunku and Noni Madueke.
Cole Palmer bagged his second successive goal in as many games while Jadon Sancho netted his first league goal this season. The result saw Enzo Maresca's team climb up to second in the standings - seven points behind leaders Liverpool after they drew 3-3 at Newcastle United.
Manchester City, meanwhile, are two points behind the Blues after returning to winning ways against Nottingham Forest at home. So, with that being said, football.london has looked at Chelsea's upcoming fixtures and, how they compare to their main rivals;
