Chelsea vs Bournemouth: Premier League prediction, lineups and team news, LIVE stream

Chelsea return to Premier League action this weekend after reaching the knockout stages of the Champions League, with what surely will be regarded as an ideal fixture within the walls at Stamford Bridge.

Bournemouth travel to London without a win in five Premier League games, and having won just two away matches all season.

TV channel and live stream information

As a 3pm GMT kick-off, the match will not be televised live in the UK, but you can follow all the action and analysis on Standard Sport's LIVE blog.

Lineups

Chelsea possible XI (4-3-3): Kepa, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Zouma, Emerson; Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic; Willian, Abraham, Pulisic.

Bournemouth possible XI (4-4-1-1): Ramsdale; Francis, Mepham, Simpson, Rico; Fraser, Billing, Lerma, Groeneveld; Solanke, Wilson

Team news

Chelsea injuries: Fikayo Tomori (groin, doubt), Olivier Giroud (ankle, doubt), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (calf, out)

Chelsea suspensions: None

Bournemouth injuries: Junior Stanislas (knee, out), Steve Cook (hand, out), Lloyd Kelly (thing, doubt), Josh King (thigh, doubt), Charlie Daniels (knee, out), David Brooks (ankle, out), Adam Smith (ankle, out), Nathan Ake (thigh, out), Callum Wilson (thigh, doubt)

Prediction: Chelsea 2-0 Bournemouth

Bournemouth are riddled with injuries to key personnel, and in a horrendous run of form, and I expect Chelsea to edge this with minimal concerns.
