Chelsea take on Bournemouth in the Premier League this weekend. Here is absolutely everything you need to know about the fixture.
It’s been a strange start to the 23/24 season for Mauricio Pochettino’s side. A fantastic opening display against Liverpool left many thinking it would be a great season for the Blues, but the last two games have left them looking more than a little defeated.
They now sit 12th in the table, having only mustered four points from a possible twelve. Nevertheless, it’s still very early days.

Team News
Nothing has really changed for Chelsea in regards to injuries, so we should see a pretty similar side to that that was defeated against Nottingham Forest. Granted there will be a few changes based on performances.
A lacklustre attacking in that fixture may mean that a few of the fringe forwards are given a go from the off. Mykhailo Mudryk, Noni Madueke and new signing Cole Palmer are all in contention.
The back line essentially picks itself due to an enormity of injuries.
