For the second time this month, Chelsea meet Bournemouth in the Premier League, with both sides looking to bounce back from disappointing defeats at the weekend. Chelsea are unbeaten across the last eight H2Hs (W4, D4) and have scored exactly twice in each of the last three meetings they hosted (W2, D1). Chelsea have earned fewer corners than their opponents in each of their last five league fixtures.

Chelsea’s Premier League form has dipped towards the end of 2025, as their 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday means they’ve won just one of their last six such games (D3, L2). Boss Enzo Maresca, absent from the touchline due to a suspension at the weekend, saw his side give up the lead after a strong first-half performance, dropping the Blues out of the top four and three points adrift. A Stamford Bridge response will be expected, especially as Chelsea were unbeaten in their four competitive home games prior to that Villa defeat (W3, D1).

Bournemouth fans are in even gloomier spirits as their 4-1 hammering at Brentford on Saturday was their ninth consecutive winless game in the Premier League (D4, L5) – only beleaguered Wolves are on a longer such ongoing streak. The Cherries’ early season European ambitions have been replaced by growing fears of being dragged into a relegation battle, though they still boast a pre-round nine-point margin to the drop zone. That could start to shrink if they continue to haemorrhage goals away from home, as Andoni Iraola’s side have conceded 3+ times in each of their last six league away games and haven’t won one since beating Tottenham at the end of August (D3, L4).

Chelsea have dropped a league-high 11 points from winning positions in home matches this term. Bournemouth have conceded fewer than six corners in each of their last four league outings. Bournemouth have conceded a pre-round league-high 11 times before half-time away from home.

João Pedro netted in both of Chelsea’s last two league fixtures and two of his last three Premier League strikes arrived between the 60th and 70th minute. After scoring in each of their last three games, Antoine Semenyo has become the first Bournemouth player to register more than 20 Premier League goal contributions in a calendar year (G15, A6).

Chelsea don’t appear to have any fresh concerns, while Bournemouth could be without Alex Scott, who left the pitch late on against Brentford with a head injury.
