Premier League
7.45pm Wednesday

Chelsea have had a patchy January, winning two of eight games, and are by no means certain to defeat Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge.

Antonio Conte's side have shown signs of tiredness and their busy schedule may catch up with them against the Cherries, who are playing their first match in 11 days.

Bournemouth play a high-energy style of football and they were 1-0 winners at Chelsea in their first Premier League season. A similar result is not out of the question.
