Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl expects a "wild" game against Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday.
Hasenhuttl concedes his side will have to come close to their "highest level" to stand a chance against Frank Lampard's team, who have scored 11 goals in the last three matches.
"The first half will be very intense I think," said Hasenhuttl.
"Sometimes it can be a little wild because there is a team that is playing very quick in front and we do it the same. It can be sometimes a little disorganised or a little bit wild but this is what I expect.
"It is a very strong team. It is a team that is young, hungry, with good committed [players], a good spirit so if you want to get something you really have to come very close to the highest level you can perform at."
