Chelsea starting lineup confirmed vs Bournemouth: Fikayo Tomori in with Antonio Rudiger dropped

Chelsea are looking to put 3-0 defeat to Bayern Munich on Tuesday night as they take on Bournemouth this afternoon at the Vitality Stadium.

The Blues won their last Premier League game against Spurs, and a win today would extend the gap over the chasing pack in the top four race.

However, Chelsea don't have a great record against the Cherries, being hammered here 4-0 last season when Maurizio Sarri was in charge.

Add to that Frank Lampard's side were beaten 1-0 by the South Coasters earlier in the season, when Dan Gosling netted the winner at Stamford Bridge.

Bournemouth vs Chelsea match odds

The Blues are without several players for the game, with N'Golo Kante, Christian Pulisic, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Tammy Abraham all out of action through injuries.

Chelsea also have a huge FA Cup match with Liverpool coming up on Tuesday night, with the Blues having a big ask to get into the next round.

Below is the team that Lampard has gone for to play against the Cherries.

Chelsea: Caballero; Azpilicueta, Tomori, Christensen; James, Kovacic, Jorginho, Alonso; Pedro, Giroud, Mount.

Subs: Kepa, Rudiger, Loftus-Cheek, Gilmour, Barkley, Willian, Batshuayi.
