Bournemouth vs Chelsea preview

Bournemouth put their unbeaten start to the test when Chelsea visit the Vitality in a late, late Saturday night kick-off.

The Cherries registered their first win of the campaign just before the break in a sensationally dramatic win at Everton.

At 2-0 down with 86 minutes on the clock, Andoni Iraola’s side scored thrice in the time remaining to pile further misery on the Toffees.

It was a remarkable turnaround given they’d looked down and out with so little time remaining, and after the disappointment of having what they thought was a late winning goal over Newcastle the week before ruled out.

Chelsea were held by Crystal Palace in their final game before the break, unable to build on their 6-2 win the week prior.

New faces have arrived at Stamford Bridge – obviously – since. What impact might they have? Or more importantly, what team will Enzo Maresca go with?

Bournemouth vs Chelsea team news

Kepa Arrizabalaga will miss the game as the Bournemouth loanee comes up against his parent club.

Cole Palmer missed international duty with a knock and it remains to be seen if he’ll make it.

Malo Gusto and Reece James look poised to miss the game meaning a rethink at full back for Chelsea, though Romeo Lavia should return.

Jadon Sancho will hope to be involved after his move in the window, with Joao Felix also pushing for a start.

Goals expected

There must be goals here.

Chelsea have more than enough attackers who can cause the hosts problems, while not being quite so clever at the back themselves.

Tough task
