Watch Live Streams of Chelsea vs Southampton from Everywhere in the World
Every Champions League 21/22 game will be streamed live online somewhere in the world. The trick is in finding out where.
In the U.K., for example, all 125 games in the Champions League 21/22 group stages and knockout rounds will be streamed live on BT Sport.
That's good news wherever you are, because a VPN — or virtual private network — will let you tune into U.K. coverage from anywhere on the planet. And the same goes for every other country. So, if you're a Brit on vacation in the U.S., you'll be able to use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live on your usual services.
Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long term.
| Using a VPN with 3 easy steps: 1. Install the VPN of your choice. ExpressVPN is the one we recommend. 2. Open up the VPN app and choose the location of the service you wish to access. For the England vs India, you may wish to choose 'Canada' for DAZN Canada or 'USA' for Paramount +. 3. Then head over to Paramount+ or DAZN on your browser or device and enjoy the Manchester United vs Villarreal live stream. |

The game will be shown live on BT Sport 2 from 7pm.
There are multiple ways to get BT Sport. If you already have BT Broadband, you can add BT TV and Sport to your existing contract from just £15 per month. You can add the ‘Big Sport’ package for £40 per month, which includes all BT Sport and 11 Sky Sports channels via a NOW pass.
To watch the UEFA Champions League 21/22 campaign in the U.K. you'll need BT Sport because it has the rights to all 125 games in the group and knockout stages.
Prices differ hugely depending on whether you already have BT TV and a BT broadband subscription. If you have both, you can add the Sports package for £15/month plus a £20 upfront fee, or go for the £40/month Big Sports package which also includes all of the Sky Sports channels, giving you a total of 160 live streams.
Another option for non-BT subscribers is the BT Sport Monthly Pass (£25), which lets you watch via an app for a fixed time, with no need for a lengthy commitment.
All sounds great, right? But if you're not in the U.K., you can still follow the games by using one of the best VPN services, such as ExpressVPN.
Amazon Prime Video
Amazon usually has around 20 matches per season under the current rights agreement, and in 2019/20, it secured all of the showpiece Boxing Day fixtures.
No Amazon games have been confirmed yet, but watch this space because over the past couple of seasons, the vast majority of its fixtures have aired in that crucial December/January period, which makes the end of the year perfect time to try out the service or re-subscribe if you've been away for a bit.
Other cool football-related pieces of programming in Amazon's library include All or Nothing: Manchester City, going behind the scenes of their successful 2017/18 season, and Six Dreams, a fly-on-the-wall look at La Liga in Spain. A new series of All or Nothing has been commissioned for 2021/22, following Arsenal.
Amazon also broadcasts sports including the US Open tennis championships, other ATP World Tour tennis events and NFL games, and has an increasingly broad library of sports documentaries, from Andy Murray: Resurfacing to Fernando, the series about double Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso. And you can watch tournaments like the Australian Open via the Eurosport Player add-on.
Amazon Prime (including the Premier League football) is priced at £7.99 per month, although if you've not subscribed before, you can access its services on a 30-day trial period.
Sky Sports / NOW
If you prefer, you can build your own package starting with the Sky TV and Netflix combo (£25/month for 18 months at time of writing) and add on the channels that you'd like. For example, if you just wanted to add Sky Sports, then that's currently £20 per month on an 18-month minimum term, and you can add all the BT Sport channels for an extra £27 per month on a 31-day rolling contract.
New customers are usually offered an introductory price – the monthly cost may well go up at the end of the 18-month minimum contract term. If you don't already have Sky, it's also a requirement that you take the base TV package. Sky also notes in its terms and conditions that "prices may go up during your subscription", so be prepared just in case.
Sky has a whopping 11 (Eleven, to go all vidiprinter style for a moment) sports channels. Its offering covers all sorts, from the FA Women's Super League to cricket, motor racing (including Formula 1 and IndyCar), boxing, NBA, golf, rugby league, women's rugby and netball. It also has a rolling news channel, Sky Sports News.
Further football coverage, including EFL games and Scottish football fixtures as well as the German Bundesliga, is usually found on Sky Sports Football.
The primary advantage of NOW membership is that you don't need to have a base Sky package to add your sports subscription onto.
Finally, Virgin Media customers can also take advantage of TV and broadband package options which include Sky Sports.

Remember that BT Sport also features coverage from the top flight of French football, Ligue 1, and Italy's top league Serie A.

BT now offers more flexibility with a number of its TV packages, which means you can add certain channel packs (including Netflix, NOW and Amazon Prime) and turn them on and off on a month-by-month basis to fit with your budget. Customers on older packages can also switch to the new arrangement without having to wait for their current contract to end.

Chelsea vs Southampton: Preview
Chelsea started off the season on a high, thanks to the inclusion of Romelu Lukaku in their squad, and at one point looked undefeatable. However, their loss against Manchester City in their last match changed the dynamics somewhat. It might have hindered their confidence and momentum which was the very reason why they lost against Juventus. Thomas Tuchel’s ultra defensive approach to the matches could also have been the reason of their drop in form. However, it is improbable to think that Thomas Tuchel will use the same approach against Southampton as well.
Southampton FC, on the other hand, are yet to win a match this season. They suffered defeat in their last match and drew four matches before that. So it is obviously that they will struggle against Chelsea as well.

Chelsea vs Southampton: Predicted Lineup
Coming first to the home team, the squad of Chelsea Football Club is star-studded with high-profile players from each part of the world. Each player can change the flow of the match with their skills. After the end of matchday 5, Chelsea is at the top of the table with 13 points in five matches. They are not dependent on a single player. In their last match, Thiago Silva, N’Golo Kante, and Rudiger scored, and none of them are strikers. They are playing like true champions. Jorginho, Lukaku, Kai Havertz, and Mason Mount are all excellent players.
Now coming to the away team, Southampton Football Club has not fulfilled their fans’ expectations. They are yet to register a win to their name. Currently, they are residing at the lower half of the Premier League Table. We have all seen in the past and every Premier League, that any team can defeat any team in the Premier League, so Southampton may surprise their fans with a shocking win. Jan Bednarek will be in charge of the defense, and James War-Prowse will be in charge of the attacks. Other than that, the Southampton squad has several young talents who are faster than most of the Premier League players.
Predicted Line-Up: Chelsea – Mendy, Christensen, Thiago Silva, Rudiger, Azpilicueta, Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic, Mason Mount, Marcos Alonso, Romelu Lukaku
Southampton – Alex McCarthy, Tino Livramento, Jack Stephens, Jan Bednarek, Kyle Walker-Peters, Oriol Romeu, James Ward-Prowse, Mohamed Elyounoussi, Che Adams, Nathan Redmond, Adam Armstrong.
Chelsea vs Southampton: Predicted Winner
Chelsea will be hosting Southampton on Saturday. This season of 6 matches, Chelsea have won 4 matches while they lost 1 and settled for a draw in one match. Southampton on the other hand, are yet to win a match this season. They have 4 draws and 2 defeats this season.
Considering the current form of both the teams as well as taking into account the home advantage, Chelsea is predicted to win against Southampton. The latest Chelsea vs Southampton Prediction and Odds also favors Chelsea over Southampton in Saturday night’s match.

Chelsea vs Southampton: Recent From

Chelsea did have some positives from their loss to Manchester City. Ruben Loftus-Cheek was introduced in the 76th minute and the midfielder was quick to react with some very promising display. He tried to have a composed presence on the pitch and made some good darting runs which didn’t yield anything. After spending some nightmare days with his injury setbacks the English international has definitely caught the eyes of Thomas Tuchel who has a difficult task to make.
The likes of Hakim Ziyech and Kai Havertz are yet to make an impact and Tuchel might have some plans to get the best out of him. They need to win against the Saints in a bid to keep up the pressure on Liverpool and Manchester City.
Southampton’s lack of goal-scoring threat from set piece movements needs to be addressed. They are still coming to terms following the departure of Danny Ings and Jannik Vestergaard who were their bedrock of success as they avoided relegation last season.
Against Wolves, they were the better teams for most of the match. They dictated possessions, registered shots on goal, looked more threatening but their lack of finishing in front of the goal defined the outcome.
Southampton’s decision to bring in Adam Armstrong from Blackburn Rovers received a mixed reaction but the striker is yet to adapt to the pace and trickery of the Premier League. it remains to be seen how much time he needs to get the ball rolling at the St Mary’s Stadium this time.
