Chelsea eye win against Bournemouth at home in 2018/19 Premier League
Kick-off : 3:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Stamford Bridge, London
Chelsea so far have had a perfect start to their new Premier League season registering three wins out of three games. They are currently third in the table having nine points. They will look to continue their winning run when they take on The Cherries next.
The Blues know that they need to keep notching up the points to maximise their chances of winning the title this season. The Blues aren’t in the Champions League this season, so won’t be having games in September.
On the other hand, Bournemouth too have had a good start to the season and will be looking to continue their unbeaten run this season when they take on giants Chelsea.
They though know it’s not going to be easy against the Blues at their own backyard and they will have to be at their absolute best and hope for the best.
Team news and possible line-ups
Adam Smith is available for Bournemouth for the weekend game and will likely play. While Junior Stanislas, Marc Pugh and Lys Musset will all be not available as due to injury.
As for Chelsea, Cesc Fabregas is doubtful. Other than that manager Maurizio Sarri is likely going to play the same XI as in the previous game.
Bournemouth XI : Begovic, A. Smith, S. Cook, Ake, Daniels, Brooks, Surman, Gosling, Fraser, Wilson, King.
Chelsea XI : Kepa, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, M. Kovacic, Pedro, Morata, Hazard.
Prediction
I expect the Blues to dominate this game and win 2-0. The goalscorers might be Alvaro Morata and Eden Hazard.
