Chelsea will be weaker without suspended pair N’Golo Kante and Diego Costa but maybe not weak enough to see their 11-match winning run ended.

Bournemouth found little when losing 3-1 at home to Southampton eight days ago and should have benefited from a rest.

The Cherries are likely to breach a Chelsea defence lacking Kante but may struggle to keep the Blues at bay.

Recommendation
Chelsea to win and both teams to score
