Bournemouth FORM
Key Factors
Given AFC Bournemouth's defensive fragility on the road—averaging three goals conceded per away game—Chelsea's attack, led by a returning Cole Palmer and striker Joao Pedro, is highly likely to capitalize on a Cherries backline that has contributed to a nine-game winless streak.
Because Chelsea has dropped a league-high 11 points from winning positions at home this season and is currently missing key defensive figures like Levi Colwill and Jorrel Hato, Bournemouth's offensive transition play is expected to yield at least one goal despite their overall poor form.
The combination of Chelsea’s historical dominance in this fixture (unbeaten in nine games) and Enzo Maresca’s tactical need to rectify a slump of one win in six matches suggests the Blues will adopt an ultra-aggressive approach that a Bournemouth side missing midfield anchor Tyler Adams will struggle to contain over 90 minutes.
Injuries & Absentees
Chelsea: Levi Colwill, Romeo Lavia, Dario Essugo, and Jorrel Hato are out; Mykhaylo Mudryk is suspended; Marc Cucurella is a major doubt. Bournemouth: Tyler Adams, Ben Gannon-Doak, Veljko Milosavljevic, and Matai Akinmboni are sidelined; Alex Scott is being assessed.
