Chelsea vs Bournemouth predictions
It was only a few weeks ago that Enzo Maresca pointed out that Chelsea were not in the Premier League title race and while most saw that as him playing down his side's credentials, a poor recent run of form is proving the Italian right.
The Blues are without a win in four league games, even though three of those matches came against sides in the bottom six, and a visit from one of the season's surprise packages might not see them snap that streak.
Bournemouth are seventh and just three points behind Chelsea following a nine-game unbeaten run which makes them the form side going into this encounter.
Andoni Iraola's side have a tendency to save their best performances for clashes with top teams, beating Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham this term, and they are more than capable of taking all three points from their trip to Stamford Bridge.
The Blues somehow scraped a 1-0 win in the reverse fixture despite losing the expected-goals count 1.7-0.8, but they may not be so fortunate this time.
An injury crisis has come at a bad time for Bournemouth, who will be without nine first-team players for this trip to the capital, but Iraola is an astute tactician and he shuffled his pack expertly to dispatch West Brom 5-1 in the FA Cup on Saturday.
Chelsea were poor at the back in defeats to Ipswich and Fulham and the Cherries certainly have the players to hurt the Blues.
Antoine Semenyo looks the man likeliest to lead the visitors' charge at the Bridge. Only Erling Haaland has registered more shots in the Premier League this season than Semenyo's 78 and the Ghanaian, who should lead the line in the absence of Evanilson and Enes Unal, is fancied to notch his sixth goal of the campaign.

Chelsea vs Bournemouth bet builder predictions
Both teams to score
Both teams have scored in five of Bournemouth's last six away games as well as in five of Chelsea's last seven Premier League matches.
Antoine Semenyo over 0.5 shots on target
Likely to start up front, Antoine Semenyo should be a livewire at Stamford Bridge and he can register a 12th shot on target in eight games.
Levi Colwill to be booked
The Chelsea defender has been booked in two straight games and could be in for another tough test against the Cherries' tricky attackers.
