Bournemouth come into the game on the back of an excellent 4-1 home victory over Leeds United in the Premier League last weekend. The Cherries were 2-0 up after 24 minutes before conceding a goal in the 32nd minute. Bournemouth came out in the second half and took the game away from Leeds United, scoring two additional goals.
The win over Leeds United means Bournemouth have won 4 of their last 5 fixtures, all of which have been played in the Premier League. There have been wins away at Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Southampton plus the home victory over Leeds United.
Home form in the Premier League shows Bournemouth have won 3 of their 5 most recent matches in-front of their own fans but they are the only 3 wins from their last 9 home league games. Conceding goals at home has been a problem for Bournemouth and they have kept just a single clean sheet in their last 9 home Premier League games.
Chelsea make the trip to the Vitality Stadium having lost 3-1 at title chasing Arsenal on Tuesday night in the Premier League. The Blues failed to cope with the fast start of Arsenal and found themselves a goal down after 18 minutes.
Arsenal doubled their advantage in the 31st minute and added a third goal just 3 minutes later. Chelsea did score in the second half but it did not lead to comeback.
The defeat at Arsenal means Chelsea have lost each of their last 6 fixtures in all competitions. There have been defeats at home in the Premier League against Brighton and Brentford, away defeats in the Premier League to Wolves and Arsenal plus defeats home and away in the Champions League against Real Madrid.
Away form in the Premier League shows Chelsea have won only 1 of their 11 most recent matches on the road. They have lost 3 of their last 4 away league games and have kept just a single clean sheet in their 10 most recent away trips in the Premier League.
Team news and Bournemouth are without the injured duo of Kieffer Moore and Marcus Tavernier. They also have doubts over the fitness of Chris Mepham, Hamed Junior Traorè, Ryan Fredericks, and Junior Stanislas.
Chelsea travel without the injured quartet of Marc Cucurella, Mason Mount, Reece James, and Kalidou Koulibaly.
Each week Chelsea fans hope their team is going to deliver a win and they leave disappointed. The same could happen this weekend as Bournemouth have been good in recent home Premier League fixtures and we could see a home win, with both teams scoring.
