Chelsea will look to continue their stellar start to the Premier League season with another win when they face Tottenham on the road next weekend.
The Blues secured their third consecutive league win, defeating Southampton 5-1 on the south coast on Wednesday night. Axel Disasi, Christopher Nkunku, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer and Jadon Sancho were all on the scoresheet in what was a perfect night for the visitors.

The victory on the south coast saw Chelsea climb to second in the table - level on points (28) with Arsenal and seven points from leaders Liverpool.
