Bournemouth, Recent FormWhen Bournemouth last played in the league they faced Leeds United and produced an outstanding 4-1 home win. They achieved 43% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Leeds United's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Manager Gary O'Neil will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 9 goals conceded in the same period. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
Chelsea, Recent FormChelsea will not be too troubled by their 3-1 away defeat against Arsenal, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. They came away from that fixture with a 45% share of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Arsenal, who managed 16 attempts on goal, 10 of which were on target.
Having scored just 2 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Frank Lampard where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. However, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 10 in the same period. Not only have they failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, but they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Chelsea will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row no wins in 7 games.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Bournemouth, losing 2-0 to Chelsea.
Playing away from home, Chelsea have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Bournemouth.
Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ryan Fredericks (Calf), Chris Mepham (Thigh), Kieffer Moore (Concussion), Junior Stanislas (Muscle), Marcus Tavernier (Hamstring) and Hamed Traorè (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Chelsea manager Frank Lampard with Marcus Bettinelli (Unknown), Armando Broja (Knee), Marc Cucurella (Strain), Kalidou Koulibaly (Muscle), Noni Madueke (Ankle) and Mason Mount (Hip) all unavailable for selection, and Reece James (Hamstring) out for the rest of the season.
