Chelsea returns to Premier League action on Tuesday night against Bournemouth (CHE vs BOU) at Stamford Bridge, to end a dismal three-game losing streak.
Chelsea – The Graham Potter effect has worn off for a goal-averse Chelsea team, as they went undefeated in their first nine games before losing four of their last five competitive games before the World Cup break. The Blues is eight points away from a spot in the Premier League’s top four, but they are only two points clear of a possible spot in the bottom half, and there are already doubts about Potter’s long-term future at Stamford Bridge.
Bournemouth – The Cherries have lost three straight games away from home in the Premier League, and they haven’t won any of their last five games against rival teams. Their division-worst total of 24 goals allowed is the worst in the league. However, recent history has favoured those wearing red and black because Bournemouth is unbeaten in three Premier League meetings with Chelsea, winning two and drawing one between 2019 and 2020. South Coast fans braving the chilly trip to the capital have every reason to believe that this streak may continue.
