Bournemouth vs Chelsea Bournemouth have lost their last five home games against Chelsea in all competitions and have already been beaten by the Blues twice this season including a 1-0 defeat in the League Cup at the Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth have had the week off to prepare for the visit of the Blues while Chelsea reached the final of the Carabao Cup on Thursday and were in FA Cup action on Sunday.
Maurizio Sarri’s side are struggling for goals and have not scored more than twice in their last dozen league games which is a surprise for a side of their quality. I’m looking forward to seeing loan signing Gonzalo Higuain reunited with Sarri, after their successful spell together in Naples, and it will be fascinating to see what impact the 31-year-old Argentinian striker can make in the Premier League. The Cherries returned to winning ways against West Ham last weekend, but I just think the visitors will take the points back to the capital.

I was at Stamford Bridge as co-commentator for their win over Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup and I was impressed by the movement in the box of their new striker Gonzalo Higuain.
It is just a case now of him and the rest of team getting to know each other.
Bournemouth won 3-0 at Stamford Bridge on transfer deadline day in January last year in what Cherries boss Eddie Howe called their "best result" in the Premier League.
Howe's side ended a poor run by beating West Ham in their last game, on 19 January, but I think Chelsea will be just too strong for them this time.
