Will: RE: Nick (13:53) - Perhaps Chelsea should spend more money on better coaches and medical staff rather than blowing a billion on very average players.

An early chance for Enzo Fernandez as he's teed up on the edge of the box by Raheem Sterling.

His effort is a tame one and it's comfortable for goalkeeper Neto.

Mykhailo Mudryk then bursts away down the left and pulls it back to Conor Gallagher. It bounces off his thigh with pace and goes over.

Both teams are lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation today. Chelsea have got plenty of injuries so it's a young squad but it's still packed with talent.

Off we go at the Vitality Stadium, where the rain is falling heavily.

Bournemouth XI: Neto, Aarons, Zabarnyi, Kelly, Kerkez, Christie, Cook, Ouattara, Billing, Tavernier, Solanke.

Chelsea XI: Sanchez, Gusto, Disasi, Thiago Silva, Colwill, Gallagher, Ugochukwu, Sterling, Fernandez, Mudryk, Jackson.

Nick: Re: Dibs (13:32) - No, that bench is what you get when Chelsea have 10 regular players out with injuries.

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino to Sky Sports: "(The international break was) difficult because everyone sees that we didn't have too many players to train. Of course it's tough for two weeks after you lost at home which is difficult. We need to be positive with the competition that is there.

"I think we are going to play with (Mykhailo) Mudryk in the position that we normally have been playing (Ben) Chilwell, we will play with a more offensive player and keep the back four. (Moises) Caicedo arrived from international duty with a knock in his knee, we need to asses him for the next few days. He was not available for today.

"It's a great opportunity for the guys who didn't start in the first months to show the quality and that they are ready to compete in the premier league.

"We need to win and show that we are Chelsea and we are ready to compete."

Bournemouth are going to be popped around because the hardest thing in football is maintaining the position in their half. You have to work very hard and all be in sync with pressing.

Good teams are sometimes going to hurt you. If you know that, then you know their weakness and you can fight that. I like that if you're a smaller team.

Stop at source, win the ball in the opposition half and be closer to their goal when you win it. The only problem is you leave a lot of space in behind you which is dangerous against good players like they face today.

Bournemouth have lost four of their six Premier League home fixtures against Chelsea, with their only win being 4-0 in January 2019.

Chelsea did the double over Bournemouth last season, including a 3-1 win at the Vitality Stadium in May - their only triumph in the final 12 league games of the campaign.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola on the side's tactics and defensive shape: "We've been more comfortable lately and have not conceded so many chances when pressing high.

"We just have to do this when we are lower, otherwise we are being punished. We need to keep the intensity.

"Sometimes when you feel like you have help either side, you don't feel the urgency and you are waiting for someone else to make the play.

"We need the same level of focus for low play, as well as high."

Everton have not had the start to the season they had hoped for after just surviving relegation.

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola feels Dominic Solanke will find the net with increasing regularity this season.

The 26 year-old has netted twice already. He scored six in total in the Premier League last season.

"He is a player that right now is performing really well and we hope he continues in the same way," said Iraola.

"He has the attributes and willingness to improve. He does a lot of things very well.

"Obviously you talk to every striker, everyone wants to score more goals because it's the first thing you look at when you're analysing a striker.

"But I'm sure if he continues to play in this way, the team will provide him the chances and he will score the goals for sure."

Everton are yet to win in the Premier League this season (D1, L3). They had a six-match winless run at the start of 2022-23.

They have lost five of their past six Premier League home fixtures, including both games this season by a 1-0 scoreline.

Arsenal are one of six unbeaten sides in the Premier League so far this campaign (W3, D1).

They have kept an unrivalled 11 clean sheets in their 20 away league matches since the beginning of last season.

Chelsea have lost their past three away games in the Premier League.

They haven't suffered four away defeats in a row in the Premier League since a run of five from October to December 2000.

Mauricio Pochettino is currently winless in 13 away matches in the Premier League - a run that stretches back to February 2019 when he was in charge of Tottenham.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola to Sky Sports: "We were very close to winning our first game the other day. We'll try again today. Chelsea are a very good team. They also need points. We have to be optimistic.

On the international break: "Really good weeks for some of the players we had recovering from injury. We had a lot of players in the national teams but Chelsea had more than us.

"Chelsea will be very dangerous in transitions. They have very quick players. Even when we have the ball we have to be aware. Two passes and they could be in front of the keeper."
