Chelsea currently sits fifth in the English Premier League with 29 points. Their form has been inconsistent, with a record of 4 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses in their last 10 matches, including only one win in their last five Premier League games. They are eager to gain points, holding only a 3-point lead over the European competition zone. To secure their position or even challenge for a top-four spot, Chelsea must aim for three points at home against a lower-ranked team. Bournemouth's season has been a rollercoaster, reaching second place in the standings early on, but now they have dropped to 15th place. They have only earned 4 points in their last 9 league matches, suffering a 1-4 defeat to Brentford in their previous game. Their away form is concerning, with no wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses. They have conceded 27 goals in 9 away games, marking them with the worst away defensive record in the Premier League. Chelsea's attack ranks fourth in the league. Cole Palmer has scored 6 goals, and Reece James has contributed 4 assists, with a strong attacking presence on the flanks. However, injuries and suspensions pose a challenge, with Mykhailo Mudryk suspended and several key players, including Levi Colwill, out injured. Left-back Marc Cucurella is also doubtful after a suspected hamstring injury. Bournemouth heavily relies on Antoine Semenyo in attack, who has contributed 9 goals and 3 assists, making him their primary attacking threat. However, their squad is significantly impacted by injuries, with key attackers like Dominic Solanke and midfielder Tyler Adams unavailable. The midfield has lost a crucial defensive shield, and their attack lacks key players.
