Best chance of the half so far for Chelsea.

Mykhailo Mudryk cuts in off the left and lays it off to Conor Gallagher. He creates space to shoot but Neto dives to his right to push it away.

Big stop from the Bournemouth keeper.

Philip Billing is in some pain over on the far side after blocking a clearance from Levi Colwill. He's off the pitch so Bournemouth are temporarily down to 10 men.

Nick: The Chelsea players to me still look as though they’ve gotten to know each other over the course of a weekend. Very little there constituting a ‘team’.

Phillip: Thiago Silva is the person holding back this Chelsea team. He isn't anymore quick enough for the team to engage a more proactive pattern of defending.

Bournemouth move it up nicely down the right-hand side before Ryan Christie lets fly but his effort is blocked.

Malo Gusto looks really comfortable since arriving, especially amongst all the money spent. There seems to be a little bit of a triangle forming between him, Conor Gallagher and Raheem Sterling.

Philip Billing controls a cross brilliantly in the box but as he spins to shoot it's taken off him.

Once again Raheem Sterling carries it forward and lays it off to Malo Gusto on the right. There's team-mates waiting in the middle but Gusto's cross is straight into Neto's arms.

Raheem Sterling, every time he's got the ball, he's been fantastic.

He's gliding past the Bournemouth defence. Sometimes it's as simple as 'keep giving him the ball.'

Bournemouth are getting a few chances. The latest attack doesn't come off as Ryan Christie's dangerous cross is eventually cleared on the far side.

Raheem Sterling beats Milos Kerkez on the right but his shot is cleared at the near post. It comes back into Sterling from Malo Gusto but he's penalised for handball.

Lewis Cook's long ball picks out Dango Ouattara. He heads it back across the middle but it bounces off Conor Gallagher and back off the Bournemouth man for a goal kick.

A HUGE chance for Bournemouth to take the lead!

The cross comes in low from the right and Dango Ouattara is totally unmarked at the back post.

He tries to fire it past goalkeeper Robert Sanchez from close range but the Chelsea stopper is quick off his line to block the effort and gobble up the long-range rebound.

Chelsea look bright. Mykhailo Mudryk spins past Max Aarons and wins a corner.

The set-piece is deflected awkwardly off Ryan Christie and Neto has to push it over the bar to make sure.

Bournemouth are certainly not trying to squeeze up and you can't blame them.

Mykhailo Mudryk and Nicolas Jackson are two of the quickest forwards around and you don't want to leave them any space to run in behind.

Oooh. Mykhailo Mudryk and Nicolas Jackson play a lovely one-two on the left before Jackson rolls it towards the bottom left corner. It pings off the outside of the post.

Nicolas Jackson isn't allowed to turn on the edge of the Bournemouth box and Dango Ouattara comes away with the ball.

He drives past Conor Gallagher and looks to slip it through to Dominic Solanke but Thiago Silva is there.

A big chance!

Conor Gallagher scoops it through to Raheem Sterling in the box. He has time to turn and shoot but he scuffs it well wide.

Sterling knows it's a chance and he has his head in his hands.

Ian: Another card happy referee. Not taking the playing conditions into account.

Nice ball down the line from Milos Kerkez. Dango Ouattara gets there and tries to cut it back but it's intercepted on the edge of the Chelsea box.

It's an intense start in Bournemouth as both teams look to transition quickly. Nicolas Jackson links up with Conor Gallagher but doesn't get the return pass. Bournemouth have possession again now.
