Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte claims that Southampton can make his team "suffer" when the clubs meet at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon.

Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte has praised Southampton ahead of the Premier League fixture between the two teams on Saturday afternoon.

The Blues can move level on points with Manchester United in second place with a victory at Stamford Bridge, but Conte has spoken highly of the visitors.

Southampton suffered a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Leicester City on Wednesday night, but Conte has claimed that the Saints can make his team "suffer" in West London.

The 48-year-old told reporters: "Tomorrow will be very difficult. Southampton are a good team with a lot of good young players with a great future and will make us suffer. They are a good team."

Despite Conte's claims, Southampton have scored more than one goal in a league match this season on just three occasions.
