Team News:

• Bournemouth will miss out on the services of Ben Gannon Doak and Ryan Christie as they are injured. Lewis Cook is suspended. Matai Akinmboni might also miss out due to fitness issues.
• Levi Colwill, Romeo Lavia and Dario Essugo will not be in action for Chelsea as they are injured. Moises Caicedo is suspended.

Player(s) to watch:

• Antoine Semenyo failed to carry his form from last season. He will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against Chelsea. Semenyo still has nine goal involvements in 13 league games this season and will be keen to score a goal or two.
• Pedro Neto was the sole goal scorer in Chelsea’s 1-3 loss against the Peacocks. He is going to play a crucial role in the attacking front for his side. Pedro Neto will lead the attack from the right and is going to create problems for the opponent’s defence. He has scored four goals in 13 Premier League appearances in the ongoing campaign.
