Chelsea team confirmed vs Bournemouth: Mason Mount starts but Mateo Kovacic out

Chelsea are looking to get their Premier League form back on track after losing three matches out of four in recent weeks.

This afternoon, Bournemouth are the side who visit Stamford Bridge, with the Cherries themselves going through something of a difficult period.

Eddie Howe's side are struggling with injuries, which means the Blues will be favourites going into the match and Mason Mount is one player who comes back into the starting XI.

Frank Lampard has urged his Chelsea team to take more of their chances, having struggled to kill off matches throughout the course of the campaign so far.

Tammy Abraham keeps his place up top, of course, and will be looking to add to his 11 league goals that he has notched.

Antonio Rudiger made his long-awaited return to action on Tuesday night in the Champions League win over Lille, as his fitness continues to improve.

Check out the full Chelsea team below:

Chelsea: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Rudiger, Emerson; Kante, Jorginho, Mount; Willian, Pulisic, Abraham.

Subs: Caballero, Christensen, James, Kovacic, Pedro, Hudson-Odoi, Batshuayi.
