Bournemouth vs Chelsea: Premier League prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h

Chelsea are tonight looking for their second Premier League victory of the season when they head to Bournemouth.

Enzo Maresca’s side have blown hot and cold so far this campaign after a summer of transfer chaos off the pitch. Chelsea have won, drawn and lost one game since the start of the 2024/25 season.

The Blues were comfortably beaten 2-0 by Manchester City in their opening game, but then dismantled Wolves 6-2 before a frustrating 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.

Jadon Sancho is the latest arrival for Maresca to integrate into his Chelsea squad, who made it through to the Europa Conference League league stage.

The Cherries – who lost star striker Dominic Solanke to Tottenham in a £65million deal – drew 1-1 at Nottingham Forest on the opening weekend before holding Newcastle by the same scoreline at home.

Andoni Iraola’s men then produced an extraordinary late comeback to beat Everton 3-2 at Goodison Park, having been two goals down going into the final minutes.
