A Marcos Alonso double rescued a point later that season in the away fixture, in early days of Thomas Tuchel’s tenure. And the first two games back, Bournemouth at home and Nottingham Forest away — two of the three newcomers to the league this season — are as easy as it gets, with Fulham away also on tap after back-to-back tests against Manchester City (league and FA Cup). AFC Bournemouth team news: The Cherries finished second in the Championship last season, losing just eight games all year, to earn automatic promotion back into the big time after a brief absence. Pedro and Eden Hazard scored in that game, part of Maurizio Sarri’s unbeaten start to life at the Bridge. Suspect it’s a combination of everything, including the joy of watching a surprisingly entertaining World Cup without a proverbial dog in the fight. More than a fair bit of trepidation, and that’s not a feeling I’m used to when it comes to this club.

Chelsea vs Bournemouth Odds, Pick: Cherries Undervalued in ... (The Action Network)

Read on to see how BJ Cunningham is betting the Premier League fixture between Chelsea and Bournemouth, with full odds and a pick.

Bournemouth are going to sit deep, concede a ton of possession to Chelsea and allow them to tilt the field. Now we have Chelsea, who just got dominated by Newcastle before the break and have looked awful under Potter at -315. Defensively they are in the bottom half of the PL, but they’ve done a good job preventing high quality chances. Over their last nine matches they have created 9 xG and 11 big scoring chances, so they’re not the worst offense in the Premier League. The Cherries are in 14th place and are coming off of a 3-0 thumping of Everton right before the break. Then you take a look at the Chelsea injury report, and it did not get better over the break.

Aubameyang will fancy his chances of getting on the scoresheet here and he is our man to watch out for on Tuesday night. The Blues have had a dismal start to the campaign and they are currently ninth in the league table. Chelsea will be without the services of Wesley Fofana, N’Golo Kante, and Armando Broja due to injury problems. Jorginho will partner Connor Gallagher at the heart of Chelsea’s midfield. Reece James is expected to return to action here after missing the World Cup due to an injury.

- New coach Graham Potter needs to see a reaction from his team after a disappointing end of the first part of the season before the World Cup break when Chelsea struggled, in part because of injuries injuries, and only picked up two points in the last five Premier League matches. - The Blues were interested in signing a striker in January even before the injury of striker Armando Broja who's set to miss the rest of the season after sustaining an ACL injury. Considering the issues of the team to score goals it's now even more likely that there will be an investment there next month when the transfer window will officially open. The Blues are currently ninth in the Premier League table with 21 points after 14 matches and failed to win in the last five matches before the break. - Chelsea are currently ninth in the table with 21 points scored after 14 matches. It will be crucial for the home side to start off well and win against Bournemouth, a team that's only scored 16 points after 14 matches, but as of now are safe from relegation.

Graham Potter has spoken of his disappointment over the results in recent days. A tough test in Bournemouth, who actually won two out of their last three games before the break, but it's a test a team like Chelsea are expected to come through despite their recent form. A tough challenge awaits in the form of Bournemouth, but Chelsea will be heavy favourites going into the game. Chelsea really need to get back into form in the next few games after a tough period before the World Cup. Graham Potter's side come into the game off the back of four straight defeats before the World Cup break, and will be hoping to right some of those wrongs. Chelsea will be hoping to regain some form coming into the second half of the Premier League season, and that can start off with a convincing win against Bournemouth today.

Graham Potter and the Blues will be hoping for a fast (re)start to kickstart their top-four push as Chelsea host Bournemouth in the Premier League return.

(AE) What a move this would be for a Chelsea team already loaded with attackers, just the latest sign that no one besides (probably) Kai Havertz and Mason Mount are safe in their status with Thomas Tuchel’s Blues. This time around, Lukaku scored 15 goals in 44 appearances (all competitions – 8 in 26 in the Premier League), bringing his Chelsea career total to 15 goals. It is reported (below) that Chelsea will pay the Norwegian side $12.7 million for Fofana. Palace calms down, earns deserved win at Bournemouth(AFC Bournemouth 0-2 Crystal Palace): Patrick Vieira was bitterly disappointed to see his side not only lose 3-0 to Fulham on Monday, but also finish the game with just nine men in a truly disastrous situation. (JPW) Improved Saints switch off, and Cottagers seize all the points (Fulham 2-1 Southampton): Southampton was unlucky to be behind after a shot deflected off James Ward-Prowse and flew into the goal, and those are the kind of things that happen when you’re down the bottom of the table. Bees learn from mistakes, keep on buzzing to make this early lead stick (West Ham 0-2 Brentford): For the second time in five days, Brentford began a game fantastically and raced out to a 2-0 lead, but this time the Bees held firm to close out a 2-0 victory, away to West Ham on Friday. The USMNT man had nine recoveries and created a pair of chances (according to Fotmob), one of the few Leeds players who can make such a claim on the day. The Gunners have scored the second-most goals in the league (Man City) and have the second-stingiest defense (Newcastle). Chelsea fails up top as Boly’s Forest bully a point (Nottingham Forest 1-1 Chelsea): Raheem Sterling got his goal but will lament his lack of company on the score sheet as the wide men delivered chances but the scorers weren’t found in blue shirts. Due to form and managerial selection, Christian Pulisic (415) and Conor Gallagher (501) were also used sparingly.

Follow the action live as Chelsea and Bournemouth return to Premier League duties at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea play host to Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge in London, England. Bournemouth looked solid in the opening 15 minutes but Sterling's movement and vision were too good. With the all-important gap to the top four widening to eight points because of that setback at St James' Park, new manager Graham Potter is under early pressure to inspire a rapid upturn in form. Marc Cucurella scampers off to retrieve it and begin a passage of Chelsea passing. Bournemouth are yet to have the ball inside Chelsea territory during this second half. Philip Billing goes down under a challenge inside the box and a VAR check comes to nothing. Just the half Chelsea would have wanted as they seek to avoid four successive league defeats. Their team could have put the game all-but out of sight if they had capitalised on a string of incisive attacks before the break and not found visiting goalkeeper Mark Travers on fine form. Reece James wins a throw-in deep inside Bournemouth territory on the right. Now Chelsea are back on the attack. A loud roar goes up – is that the sound of the away fans cheering ironically? "I like to be free, to get the ball often, to be in the box and just to play.

[Premier League](https://www.theguardian.com/football/premierleague) season on a high when they routed Everton 3-0. [Premier League](https://www.theguardian.com/football/premierleague) debut in midfield. [Bournemouth](https://www.theguardian.com/football/bournemouth) at Stamford Bridge. Pulisic collects a loose ball on the edge of the D and surges into the area. It wasn’t much of a shirt pull, and Pulisic certainly made the most of it, but it was still a shirt pull. He mishits a shot into the crowd and Zakaria was crowded out but Havertz collected the loose ball and played it back to Mount on the edge of the D. Play continues, Chelsea break and Pulisic scores at the other end – but the goal is disallowed for a softish foul by Havertz on Smith (I think) in the build up. “If the ref blows for the foul on Pulisic after he got the shot away (that goes wide), it would be a penalty but maybe not a red card. Zemura comes across, but James wins a 45/55 ball and smashes a shot that is blocked at the near post by Travers. I suppose the key is whether Graham Potter is brave enough to do what he wants rather than what he thinks is expected of a Chelsea manager. A collection of overpaid, not consistently motivated players who will constantly rotate in and out of the team as they don’t fit the structure of what the manager would like?

Chelsea return to Premier League action this afternoon as Graham Potter's side welcome Bournemouth to Stamford Bridge.

The American gets a shot away but misses the target. Kalidou Koulibaly latches onto the end of a cross from Cesar Azpilicueta and goes agonisingly close with the header. However, the German dragged his shot wide of Mark Travers' post. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Conor Gallagher both come on the pitch. 16 and a half minutes of normal time left. Goals from Kai Havertz and Mason Mount earn the hosts three points but the game has been slightly overshadowed by Reece James limping off injured in his first game back from recovery. Gallagher rounds the defender but his shot is then blocked. And there will be plenty to read from across the website before today's game gets underway at 5.30pm GMT. Denis Zakaria and Christian Pulisic go off. Chelsea are back to winning ways on their Premier League return. Conor Gallagher is found on the edge of the box by Kai Havertz. Wesley Fofana (knee), Ben Chilwell (hamstring), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (thigh), N'Golo Kante (hamstring) and Armando Broja (knee) are all currently ruled out.

But Potter is fully aware of Chelsea’s need to reverse a woeful run of form, adding: “I’d like to have gone up and down California with a couple of wins, but it wasn’t to be. “It feels like there’s a really good spirit, a really good connection around the building. "He was in a really good place before he got injured. "There have, of course, been discussions around the window's approach but nothing concrete to arrive yet.

They had a few counter-attacks where they are dangerous - they have top players. "We'll have to see how the next 24 to 48 hours go. But after being handed several weeks to work with his squad as the Premier League paused for the World Cup, Potter opted for a more conventional XI for Chelsea's first game back and was rewarded with a more fluid and cohesive performance from his side. He would fit into any team in the world so any team would miss him." "Reece is a world-class player. The right-back later left Stamford Bridge wearing a brace on his right knee.

Ratings: Pulisic struggles, but Chelsea beat Bournemouth (ESPN)

Chelsea snapped a five-game winless streak in their Premier League restart, but the player performances were a mixed bag against Bournemouth.

[Trevoh Chalobah](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/227784/Trevoh-Chalobah) (Sterling, 88"), N/R -- Was solid to help see out the game as he smashed the ball clear. [Conor Gallagher](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/266696/Conor-Gallagher) (Zakaria, 82"), N/R -- Had his shot blocked by Kelly after a brilliant opportunity opened up for him. [Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/122260/Pierre-Emerick-Aubameyang) (Pulisic, 82"), N/R -- Played one nice ball through but then had another attempted burst forward denied by Marcos Senesi. [Mason Mount](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/231167/Mason-Mount), 9 -- Showed plenty of intelligence to pick up nice pockets of space and utilise them brilliantly. [Christian Pulisic](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/225607/Christian-Pulisic) had a goal ruled out before half-time, but the two early goals decided the result as Chelsea put in a positive display that saw the Blues move up a place to go eighth on [the Premier League table](http://www.espnfc.com/soccer/table/_/league/eng.1). [César Azpilicueta](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/97770/cesar-azpilicueta) (James, 53'), 6 -- Comfortably slotted into the backline, heading back to Kepa from a potentially dangerous Bournemouth ball, although there were times he struggled when Bournemouth ran at him. Delivered a perfectly weighted pass for Havertz to score the opener and was denied by a strong left hand from Mark Travers. Made a poor attempt at a flick after Travers saved James' shot, then hit a wild effort from a promising position in the second half. Provided a solid defensive display and did brilliantly to flick the ball away from Jack Stacey in his own box. Made a great header to clear Zemura's cross, then came agonisingly close with a header of his own. There was a lot of quality on the ball for manager Graham Potter to be pleased about, and his side also often pressed well. [Kai Havertz](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/231182/Kai-Havertz) converting from [Raheem Sterling](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/156366/Raheem-Sterling)'s perfectly weighted pass.
