Southampton are preparing to host Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday, and the Saints released a series of pictures to the official club website showing the players being put through their paces in training.
The South Coast outfit are in the midst of an impressive run of form that has seen them lose just once in their last 10 games in all competitions, and they currently sit in eighth position in the Premier League table.
The club released a series of snaps showing players such as the in-form Nathan Redmond and Charlie Austin preparing for Sunday’s crucial game against the Blues, shown here on southamptonfc.com.
Southampton’s Nathan Redmond
The Saints face a crucial period of games, both domestically and on the continent, as they look to cement their position in the top half of the Premier League and bounce back from their loss to Inter Milan in the Europa League earlier this month.

Claude Puel deserves much of the credit for his side’s upturn in fortune, and in standing by his principles and philosophies, he has guided Southampton to an impressive return of 14 points from their last six league outings.
A win on Sunday against Chelsea could see the Saints rise to as high as sixth in the table.
