Key Stat: Chelsea have beaten Bournemouth seven times out of nine so far.
Expert Verdict: Coming into this match, Chelsea will be regarded as huge favorites to win. They are defending champions and have a great tactical manager but have had a bit of a bumpy road... While the circumstances aren't exactly the same, the Blues must be careful to not let history repeat itself- at least as far as the end result goes.
Team News
Eddie Howe will be without goalkeeper Adam Federici and left back Adam Smith due to injuries. Center back Tyrone Mings is very close to making a return to the squad, so he could play some role in this match. Howe has heard a lot of calls to change up his tactics, but we don't expect to see them park the bus and look to just sit back and let things happen. It's just not their style.
Antonio Conte remains unable to field center midfielder N'Golo Kante and winger Victor Moses due to injuries. Meanwhile, Danny Drinkwater has returned from injury in the middle of the park, though he's not likely to be used here unless he's brought on a substitute. Look for the full squad to be restored here, including striker Alvaro Morata and winger Eden Hazard, after the game in midweek.
