Chelsea will look to regain momentum in the Premier League when they host an in-form Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.
The Blues have faced a challenging period in the league, going four matches without a win. However, their morale will be boosted by a commanding 5-0 win over Morecambe in the FA Cup.
On the other hand, Bournemouth are enjoying a rich vein of form, remaining unbeaten in their last nine games across all competitions. They also impressed with a decisive 5-1 victory over West Brom in the FA Cup.

Chelsea barely emerged as victors with a 1-0 win in the reverse fixture and are unbeaten in their last six games against Bournemouth.
The Blues have been vulnerable at the back in recent weeks, and Bournemouth’s playstyle of turnover football could be the perfect foil against them. This game is likely to end in a scrappy draw.
