Chelsea vs Bournemouth LIVE! Premier League match stream, latest team news, lineups, TV, prediction todayChelsea vs Bournemouth LIVE! After three straight defeats before the World Cup, Chelsea bid to kickstart a Premier League revival when they return to action against Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge today. The Blues are nine points adrift of the top four as things stand and need to make up that deficit in the race for Champions League qualification.

Potter insists he is “more confident” of changing Chelsea’s fortunes after talks with co-owner Behdad Eghbali in California during the World Cup and he is targeting a return to winning ways against Bournemouth, who appointed Gary O’Neil as their head coach on a permanent basis earlier this month and sit three points above the relegation zone in 14th.

They struggled to attract new faces after securing promotion back to the Premier League over the summer, though could now splash the cash after a completed takeover by ambitious American businessman Bill Foley and an ownership group that includes Hollywood actor Michael B Jordan.

So when you’re young, the perspective is not so easy to get, ” Potter said. “You are young and you want to play. That’s really understandable. It’s the same for Reece, Ben Chilwell, N’Golo Kante. It’s brutal really to have to deal with. “You can try to help them and give them a bit of perspective but in the end it has to come from them, their families and those people close to them.

Bournemouth too have struggled with inconsistency and despite being underdogs, they would hope to put on a good show against Chelsea and hope to win all points on offer. Potter’s side will miss the services of Mateo Kovacic, Hakim Ziyech, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Ben Chilwell and N’Golo Kante for this clash. He will have Thiago Silva and Reece James back, with both these players adding a lot of strength to their backline. A lot for Chelsea would depend on how Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang performs in this game. The Gabon striker would hope to recreate the form he had for Arsenal in his first stint in the Premier League and make use of Bournemouth’s shaky defense, with the Cherries having conceded 32 goals in 15 matches so far.

There are still doubts over the likes of Ben Chilwell, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Carney Chukwuemeka and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, while Mateo Kovacic and Hakim Ziyech are unavailable after playing in the third-place play-off at the World Cup last weekend. Armando Broja has been lost for the season of course, though there is good news for Chelsea in the likely return today of star defender Reece James, absent since early October with a serious knee injury that forced him to miss the World Cup.
