A Big Test For Chelsea And Thomas Tuchel

Matchday 6 of the Barclays Premier League will commence tomorrow, October 2, 2021, with an encounter between the Red Devils, Manchester United, and the Toffees, Everton at old Trafford.

Chelsea will play host to Southampton at the Stamford Bridge in a match that will put their quality on the test, having lost their last two matches. Their victory will serve as a boost to the team that seems to have lost their winning mentality especially with their game against Juventus in the UEFA Champions League. They had the most possession right from the beginning of the match but we're still unable to find the back of the net.

Thomas Tuchel has started receiving criticism following his squad selection against Manchester City, and the defensive pattern of football played in the game, which was something that fans and pundits didn't expect from the team. He is expected to take all three points tomorrow as the league leaders, Liverpool will play host to Manchester City who sits a place ahead of Chelsea.

Southampton on their part have only gotten four points from six matches and are likely to be a hard nut to crack. The last time Chelsea won against them at home was in 2017. Will Chelsea be able to scale through and benefit from whatever becomes the outcome of the encounter between Pep Guardiola men and Liverpool or are we going to see another sad day for the club, we will see after 90 minutes today.
