Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino believes Chelsea are difficult to play against because the Blues don’t need to dominate games too much to be dangerous.

“Chelsea is a team where they don’t need to dominate you too much to be dangerous,” Pellegrino said.

“In counter attacks they have players that can create their own actions. They can run 30 or 40 metres like Hazard, Pedro, even the full-backs, (Alvaro) Morata.

“It is a side where they are comfortable sometimes when they are deep. They will have different situations but it is a good opportunity for us because also we maybe have more space than normal.”
