Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Chelsea's Premier League trip to Southampton. Everything has gone pretty much to plan for Thomas Tuchel so far, as the German remains unbeaten. It is a different story for Saints, who have lost six consecutive league matches for the first time in their history. Time to change that.

He did.

36'

Tuchel looks furious. To say Chelsea have been dominant is an understatement, and all it took was once pass through the middle of his backline to cut through.

34'

How has this happened? Chelsea were split open far too easily by Redmond's pass, but the finish was cool as you like from Minamino, who put Mendy on the deck before slotting home. His second goal since joining on loan from Liverpool.

33'

GGGGOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL!!! Southampton 1-0 Chelsea. Despite all of Chelsea's possession Takumi Minamino finishes brilliantly to give the home side the lead.

32'

Kante wins the ball back and Chelsea come again. They are not getting the ball forward quickly enough, however.

30'

Ambitious effort from Antonio Rudiger from distance, but that is never going to trouble McCarthy.

28'

Remarkable really just how dominant Chelsea have been without creating more than that Alonso early chance.

26'

Mount with zipping pass for Abraham, but that again runs through to Alex McCarthy.

24'

Eighty-six per cent possession for Chelsea in the last five minutes. Feels like a goal is coming...

22'

Nice ball from Zouma out to Alonso, but Djenepo does well to get back and make the tackle.

20'

Alonso pulls the ball back into the Saints penalty area, Werner is lurking, but Jan Bednarek hooks the ball clear.

Indeed.

18'

Poor ball from Werner into Alonso and the move breaks down. Chelsea were in a good position there.

16'

Chelsea now the ones stationed in their own half.

14'

Saints with at least a little bit of possession. Doing very little with it, however.

12'

Mason Mount and James link up well down the right, but the move breaks down.

10'

All Chelsea still here. They are dominating possession and looking dangerous.

N'Golo Kante drives forward, he looks to thread one through for Abraham, but Salisu does well to cut it out.

CHANCE! Big opportunity for Marcos Alonso here. James picks him out at the far post, Alonso arrives to meet it on the volley, but he drags his effort wide.

High pressing from Saints here, with six players pushing Chelsea back every time they get the ball.

Reece James looks for the run of Timo Werner early on, but gets too much on it.
