Fancy doing it all over again?

See you then.
FT: Bournemouth 0-1 Chelsea
Chelsea
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca speaking to Sky Sports: "I think we played two different games. In the first half we struggled, didn't win duels, we didn't win second balls. The second half we were much better. But overall I think we create many chances, the game was there and we are happy.
"We knew before the game that Bournemouth were very high pressing and aggressive but for me it was more off the ball we struggled with duels and off the ball. In the second half we completely changed the picture and were much better. It's football.
On the improved second half: "When we started the second half, we were already better with the same players. We knew we had to get our shirts dirty, win duels and fight. If we are able to do this for 95 minutes, we win matches. All the games are different so you need different ways to win games."
On Jadon Sancho: "I don't see problems around Jadon [Sancho], around Joao [Felix], I don't see anything negative to be honest. Jadon is a very good player and I knew, because I know him, that he is a very good player and can help us. Now all the noise around him, I don't care. With us he's very polite, training well on and off the ball. We are happy for him."
On the yellow cards for him and his players: "I complained about a foul on Wesley Fofana which for me was quite clear but it can happen. Eight yellow cards probably because these sort of games are about duels and fight and this can happen. It is not a problem for me with this amount of yellow cards. It is what it is. Sometimes the game demands the way you have to behave."
FT: Bournemouth 0-1 Chelsea
Bournemouth
Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I'm really disappointed with the result. I'm very proud of the performance and we had more chances than them. They had more of the ball in a situation where it wasn't dangerous. Their keeper played very well."
"Against this kind of opposition, if you don't take your chances and you miss a penalty, you feel like they will punish you and they did in the end. We can't ask much more of our players. We have to keep in the same way and try to make these final attempts better.
On Evanilson: "I will not value his performance because he has scored. He has had a lot of chances. He created the penalty and he has been very good. He wants to score for sure but I will not focus on this. I am very happy with his performance.
"It's football. We played at home against Newcastle and Chelsea with two very good games and we have one point. We played very well, had more chances, pushed them and you have to punish them and we didn't."
FT: Bournemouth 0-1 Chelsea
Chelsea
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "First half we struggled, second half we were miles better. We didn't win many balls in the first half and you need that in this type of stadium against this team."
On Jadon Sancho: "He did exactly what we expected from him and Tosin Adarabioyo was the same and Christopher Nkunku too. Joao Felix was very good. All the guys from the bench were very good. We were creating chances and we needed just a bit more quality from inside the box and he [Sancho] did that. Nkunku is not starting but he is working very well."
On goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, who saved a penalty: "Since we started, he is doing very well with us and we are very happy. He is giving us what we need from a keeper and is doing very well with the build-up. He recognises when we need to play short or long. We enjoy the three points."

Chelsea
Enzo Maresca on eight of his Chelsea players being booked: "It's not a problem this amount of yellow cards. It is what it is."
FT: Bournemouth 0-1 Chelsea
Bournemouth
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola, speaking to Sky Sports: "We played really well, we adjusted very well, the players understood very well what we have to do today, we created the chances, we had many more chances than Chelsea. You had to make the difference and the keeper [Robert Sanchez] especially made the difference, he was the best player on the pitch and one of the many reasons why they won the game."
On the game: "We had more everything, more shots, more corners but at the end what really matters is to score and they did it at the end.
On the penalty: "We have very clear [instructions], Evanilson and Justin Kluivert usually take the penalties. They had a talk between them and they decided to go with Evanilson. It hasn't been a bad penalty for me, it was a great save. We have to give credit to the keeper but we even after the penalty we had more chances to score before them."
On Evanilson's general play: "Even after the penalty miss he had a good chance. He maybe crossed the ball too much but he has been dangerous. I took him off because he ran out of energy which is normal. I'm happy because he has performed well. If he scores the penalty he is good and bad if he misses but I don't think it was like this."
On a record amount of yellow cards: "I will not talk about the referee. I have been talking and it is not working so I have decide now I will try the opposite and see what happens."
On whether he thought it was an aggressive or violent football match: "No but I will not talk."
FT: Aston Villa 3-2 Everton
Aston Villa
Aston Villa boss Unai Emery, speaking to Sky Sports: "The football is really for the people here. The supporters like when they can watch a goal like that - it is fantastic, it is a winning goal.
"The supporters helped us a lot and we were focusing to keep our game-plan and trying to get our chances to score.
"The crowd are understanding our ideas and style - we were progressively creating chances.
"Ollie Watkins is important for the team and Jhon Duran still having an impact is fantastic. Of course, with different competitions we will use different players to help the team.
"Watkins had chances to score more, we created chances and the strikers are there to score. He is fantastic and he is feeling better after he come back from the national team.
"He is intelligent and a good professional."
On Aston Villa's return to the Champions League: "We are happy.
"It is the first time on Tuesday that Aston Villa will play the Champions League in a long time. Tomorrow, working no resting. Monday, travelling and playing on Tuesday - really exciting match.
"We needed today to be focused and I am happy for it we have to be focused for the Champions League."
FT: Bournemouth 0-1 Chelsea
Bournemouth
Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola tells Sky Sports that it was "not a bad penalty but a great save" when asked about Evanilson's attempt.
Asked for his opinion about 14 players being booked: "I will not talk about the referee."
Full quotes coming up.
FT: Bournemouth 0-1 Chelsea
Chelsea
Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku, speaking to Sky Sports: "The manager said we need quality in the box [when I came on] and we have 10 minutes so he told me to enjoy.
"Good ball from Jadon [Sancho], I felt I had the space behind me and I turn, I was a bit lucky because there were the three defenders but I was able to score."
On his celebration: "For my son. He likes balloons so I just keep on doing it."
On the competition to get in Chelsea's starting XI: "We are in a big club, there is competition in every position and we just need to work hard in every training session and in every game."

That is the exact type of game we'd have drawn 0-0 or lost 1-0 in the last few seasons. We all want to see second half v Wolves each week, but winning ugly is such an important skill we need to learn and this is a good start.

FT: Bournemouth 0-1 Chelsea
Chelsea
Chelsea forward Jadon Sancho ,speaking to Sky Sports: "First of all it is amazing to make my debut for Chelsea. Just being back playing I'm very grateful. The team played very well and we are happy with the three points.
"I've been working hard for this moment and I'm just happy that I got my chance. I had a great end to last season being in the Champions League final. I'm just happy to make my debut for Chelsea.
"I have to thank all the staff and my team-mates. The first day I came in, they made me feel welcome and I'm so happy to feel this comfortable."

Rubbish performance but I'll take the three points. Don't think Anthony Taylor helped matters. Not sure many of the 14 were actually worth yellow cards.

Antoine Semenyo's yellow card for dissent meant 14 players were cautioned by referee Anthony Taylor - the most in a single game in Premier League history.

Robert Sanchez has made some really good stops.
The penalty save was clearly hugely important.

Bournemouth are winless in five Premier League meetings with Chelsea (D2 L3), having won three of their previous four against the Blues prior to this (L1).
Chelsea have lost just one of their seven Premier League away games against Bournemouth (W4 D2), with three of their four defeats in the competition against the Cherries coming at Stamford Bridge.
Bournemouth are unbeaten in all three of their Premier League games so far this season (W1 D2) – they’ve never gone four without defeat from the start of a campaign in the competition before.
Bournemouth beat Everton 3-2 last time out, despite trailing 2-0 up to the 87th minute, the latest a team has come from 2+ goals down to win a Premier League game. It was the Cherries’ third win from 2+ goals behind since their return to the competition in 2022, more than any other team in that time.
Chelsea have won each of their last three Premier League away games, last having a longer run between February and April 2022 (4).
Chelsea have conceded at least once in each of their last 17 Premier League away games, shipping 36 goals in total in this run. Only once have they had a longer run without a clean sheet on the road in the competition, going 24 games between January 1993 and February 1994.
Both Bournemouth and Chelsea have scored a joint league-high four second half goals in the Premier League this season. All four of Bournemouth’s have been in the final five minutes of games (86th minute onwards), while all four of Chelsea’s came in their only away game so far against Wolves.
Chelsea’s Premier League win rate in August is 61.1%, their highest in any month excluding June/July, while it drops to 47.8% in September (their second-lowest). Excluding June and July, only Arsenal have a bigger such drop from one month to the next among ever-present sides in the competition (61.4% in October, 45.4% in November).
Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo has had more shots than any other Premier League player this season (17). Meanwhile, Semenyo (17 shots, 4 chances created) and teammate Marcus Tavernier (12 shots, 9 chances created) have been directly involved in 21 attempts so far, with only Kevin De Bruyne (23) being involved in more in the division.
As well as having the most assists so far (4), no player has created more big chances than Chelsea’s Cole Palmer in the Premier League this season (4). Palmer is averaging a goal (23) or assist (15) every 76 minutes in the competition for Chelsea, the second-best rate of any player with at least 1,000 minutes for a specific club (behind only Erling Haaland, one every 67 with Man City).
