Malo Gusto is getting space on the right for Chelsea but his last two crosses are cleared fairly comfortably.

Lesley Ugochukwu slips it through to Nicolas Jackson but he has a wild swing at it and skews it miles wide.

He gets a huge sarcastic roar of approval from the home fans behind the goal.

It's a fantastic free-kick from Sterling and to be fair to him Levi Colwill finished it like a seasoned striker but he is offside. It's already more exciting than the first-half.

No! It's a beautiful free-kick from Raheem Sterling as he curls it over the wall and off the underside of the crossbar.

It bounces off the goalline but doesn't cross it and though Levi Colwill puts in the rebound, he's offside at the back post.

Eeek. Max Aarons comes sliding in from behind and brings down Mykhailo Mudryk right on the edge of his own box. He's lucky it's not inside and it's a free-kick as opposed to a penalty.

A brief word from Andoni Sagarna to Sky Sports on his message to the team at half-time:

"We have to keep intensity. Even if they are good on the ball, we need to recover well and keep the level of intensity.

"And win the duels, as that's the only way."

Off we go again. Will we see a winner?

Raheem Sterling has had 56 touches in the opposition box this season, more than any other player in the Premier League.

Bournemouth haven't gone on to win any of their last nine Premier League home games that have been level at half time (D7, L2), with their last such win coming in September 2019 v Everton (3-1 from 1-1 at HT).

Only Ollie Watkins (14) has had more attempts on goal this season without scoring a Premier League goal than Enzo Fernandez (12).

Julian: A Chelsea team as young as this will need 2 to 3 years at least to gel. If we're in the bottom 6 come February, do you really think Pochettino will still be at the helm? Thumbs up for yes and down for no.

The best chances of the half.

Conor Gallagher was denied by Neto after Robert Sanchez blocked a close-range effort from Dango Ouattara.

Nicolas Jackson also hit a post for Chelsea.

Chris: United and Chelsea are 13th and 14th. What a great time to be alive.

Not a blockbuster.

Chelsea look disjointed despite creating some chances. Bournemouth also dangerous when they go forward but it's lacking quality.

Just one minuted added on in the first half. Even the officials have had enough!

Philip Billing tries to disposses Conor Gallagher but he's penalised for a foul.

Chelsea play it short and quick but they don't go anywhere with it.

There's a little battle starting here between Max Aarons and Mykhailo Mudryk. It's heating up. I think the Ukrainian is just getting a bit hot under the collar.

Mykhailo Mudryk is in the book now for sliding in rashly on Max Aarons after a heavy touch.

This game is very much fading out and in desperate need of the half-time whistle.

Milos Kerkez is spun far too easily by Raheem Sterling so he comes back to have a decent grab of his shirt.

Aaron: As a neutral, this game is perfect for after a roast dinner, sending us to sleep. Why has Pochettino made Gallagher play as a no.10 and the captain? Surely Thiago Silva, at 39, is still their best player? All the pundits claiming Chelsea would finish in the top four, please come forward.

Prince: In what world would you have Conor Gallagher as captain instead of Thiago Silva? Something isn't right.

Anonymous: Is it too early to call this a relegation six-pointer?

Dominic Solanke chases a long ball and puts Thiago Silva under some pressure but the Chelsea veteran coolly passes it back to Robert Sanchez to clear.
