Bournemouth, Recent FormBournemouth will have been reasonably pleased with their 2-2 draw against Brentford, not least because of the valuable point gained. In that game they had 39% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Brentford who had 21 attempts and 7 on target.
Having scored 4 goals and conceded 10 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games, and have conceded a goal in each of their the last 8 games at The Vitality Stadium.
A win for Bournemouth is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 8 games.
Chelsea, Recent FormThe Chelsea players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Nottingham Forest recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. They achieved 76% possession in that match and had 21 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Nottingham Forest's tally of 7 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Mauricio Pochettino will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 7 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 10 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 1-3 win for Chelsea.
The Blues have scored in each of their last 3 league meetings with Bournemouth.
Bournemouth have lost the last 2 times they've faced Chelsea in the league and have failed to win in their last 3 encounters.
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Tyler Adams (Hamstring), Ryan Fredericks (Calf), Emiliano Marcondes (Foot), Dango Ouattara (Ankle), Alex Scott (Knee), Adam Smith (Muscle) and Marcus Tavernier (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Mauricio Pochettino has a number of injury concerns in his Chelsea squad to contend with: Benoît Badiashile (Groin), Marcus Bettinelli (Unknown), Armando Broja (Knee), Trevoh Chalobah (Hamstring), Carney Chukwuemeka (Knee surgery), Wesley Fofana (Cruciate ligament), Reece James (Hamstring), Noni Madueke (Ankle), Mykhaylo Mudryk (Unknown) and Christopher Nkunku (Knee)
