Bournemouth v Chelsea preview
Bournemouth’s faltering season sees them host Chelsea on the back of another defeat – this time at home to Everton.
The Cherries were bothering the top four not too long ago but a run of four defeats in five games has seen them drop all the way to 14th in a congested Premier League table.
Chelsea, meanwhile, were beaten by Leeds in midweek and may turn to fit-again Cole Palmer to reignite their challenge at the top.
Chelsea have lost both of their Premier League games kicking off at 3pm on a Saturday this season, going down at home to both Brighton and Sunderland.
