Antonio Conte will be thankful Richarlison’s profligacy let Chelsea avoid a catastrophic third successive league defeat last week and the Italian will demand improvement against Bournemouth. Eddie Howe is pleased by his side’s upturn in form but even more will need to be squeezed from his players to avoid defeat. Jermain Defoe’s opportunity to score a 200th league goal could be the extra drop required. Graham Searles
