AFC Bournemouth vs. Chelsea: Confirmed Starting Lineups; How to Watch
The Matchup
The Premier League returns this weekend as AFC Bournemouth hosts Chelsea at the Vitality Stadium. Both teams come into the match in contrasting form, with Bournemouth looking to build on their recent win while Chelsea will be hoping to bounce back from their disappointing draw last time out. Bournemouth currently sit 19th in the table, having won just four of their 21 matches so far this season. However, they will be buoyed by their recent victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, which ended a run of four consecutive defeats. Chelsea, meanwhile, are fourth in the table, but they have struggled for consistency in recent weeks, winning just two of their last five matches.

Preview
Bournemouth will be looking to make the most of their home advantage and will be hoping to cause an upset against a Chelsea side that has been far from convincing in recent weeks. The Cherries have a good record at the Vitality Stadium, having won four of their last six matches there. Chelsea, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing draw with Fulham last time out. The Blues have a strong squad on paper, but they have struggled to find their best form this season. They will need to be at their best if they want to beat a Bournemouth side that is fighting for its survival in the Premier League.
