Chelsea vs Bournemouth – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Chelsea host Bournemouth in the Premier League on Tuesday as both teams continue the chase for European football.

After four games without a win in the Premier League, Chelsea bounced back to thrash fourth-tier Morecambe in the FA Cup at the weekend. Tosin Adarabioyo and Joao Felix each scored twice as the Blues made light work of their League Two opponents.

Attention now turns back to the Premier League, as Chelsea cling on to a place in the top four. Their winless run has allowed Newcastle and Manchester City to move within reach of them in the race for Champions League qualification.

Tuesday’s opponents, Bournemouth, are also in the mix for European football. A win for the Cherries at Stamford Bridge would take them level on points with Enzo Maresca’s side. However, the Cherries are lacking a senior centre-forward after injuries to Evanilson and Enes Unal.
