LIVE – Chelsea v Bournemouth: Commentary, updates, goals and stats

Two teams in need of a win clash at Stamford Bridge tonight with Chelsea taking on Bournemouth.

The West London side have won just one of their last six league games and slipped well behind the title contenders. They were excellent in the first half against Aston Villa on December 27 but ended up slumping to a 2-1 defeat.

Bournemouth are in a terrible run of form. The Cherries have not won in the Premier League since October 26 and start the midweek round in 15th, albeit still nine points above the relegation zone.

Boss Andoni Iraola will hope for a much better display than the one they produced on Saturday when they were crushed 4-1 by Brentford.
