Bournemouth vs. Chelsea: Odds, Live Stream, TV Schedule and Preview

Rob BlanchetteFeb 27, 2020

Chelsea will attempt to stabilise their fluctuating Premier League form on Saturday when they visit Bournemouth.

The Blues are clinging to fourth place in the table after just one win in their last five, with the chasing pack driving towards the UEFA Champions League qualification places.

Bournemouth are experiencing one of their most challenging campaigns since promotion to the top flight in 2015, and they are only two points clear of the relegation zone.

Preview

Chelsea's 3-0 first-leg defeat to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League wasn't the perfect way to prepare for their next match.

The Blues' defensive problems became apparent once more on Tuesday, when the Bundesliga champions took full advantage of the inexperience in Frank Lampard's team.

Chelsea's early-season form was promising, but they're now 13th in the latest Premier League form guide over the past five matches, per Transfermarkt.

However, the trip to Bournemouth might allow the Blues the opportunity to find their rhythm again.

Eddie Howe's team have lost the fearlessness they've shown in previous campaigns, but they have earned one point more than Chelsea over the last five games.

With matches running out before the end of the season, the Cherries must find a way of putting together a run to ensure their Premier League survival.

Bournemouth shocked Chelsea on their visit to Stamford Bridge on December 14, when they claimed a 1-0 victory.

Howe will hope his men can repeat that feat at home against an inconsistent Blues team.

Chelsea could be without Tammy Abraham due to a troublesome ankle injury after he picked up the problem during the warm-down following the defeat to Bayern. The striker has struggled to sustain full fitness in recent weeks.

The 22-year-old was key to the Blues' early success this term, and his 13 Premier League goals have been vital to Lampard and his team.

Bournemouth have lost 15 league games this season, and Chelsea will be hoping their hosts don't suddenly click into form at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.
