The Blues return to action at Stamford Bridge after the World Cup.
Chelsea are at risk of losing four Premier League games in a row for the first time since 1998 when Bournemouth visit Stamford Bridge.
The Cherries are in encouraging form in the fixture, winning two and drawing one of the past three meetings between the sides, and Gary O’Neil would love a repeat of their 1-0 victory when they last travelled to Chelsea.
Bournemouth will begin the day in 14th and a win could draw them level with the teams in the top half of the Premier League, while Chelsea will be looking to get a victory as they chase down an eight-point gap on fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur.
Players who are doubtful for today’s game
Ben Chilwell and N’Golo Kante (both hamstring) and Ruben Loftus-Cheek (calf) are out, but Carney Chukwuemeka (hamstring) and Reece James and Wesley Fofana (both knee) could return to contention.
