Bournemouth are currently in 13th place in the Premier League standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The home side thrashed Leeds United by a 4-1 margin last week and will need to work hard to achieve a similar result in this match.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are in 12th place in the league table at the moment and have struggled this season. The Blues slumped to a damaging 3-1 defeat at the hands of Arsenal in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
- Chelsea could fail to win any of their three matches against newly promoted teams in the Premier League for the first time since the 2012-13 season.
- Bournemouth have won six of their last nine matches in the Premier League - as many victories as they had achieved in the first 25 league games this season.
- Chelsea have a good record against Bournemouth and have won 12 out of the 18 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Bournemouth's five victories.
- Bournemouth have won four of their 11 games against Chelsea in the Premier League, with three of these victories coming away from home.
