Chelsea vs Bournemouth predictions, scores, previews, football predictions
Chelsea got back to winning ways on Sunday with a 3-0 victory over Newcastle in the FA Cup.
The Blues haven’t started 2018 particularly well but they should be able to beat a plucky Bournemouth side.
Despite Chelsea’s recent poor form and injury struggles, Bournemouth are a side who are still fighting against relegation and have won just twice away from home all season.
If Bournemouth were to leave Stamford Bridge with even a point, questions will surely be asked about Antonio Conte’s future.
We expect Michy Batshuayi to score a brace (if he is still at the club…) and a Chelsea midfielder to complete the scoring.

At the same stage last season, Chelsea found themselves 9 points clear at the top of the table ahead of nearest rivals Tottenham but this season hasn’t been so fruitful.
The Blues were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Arsenal seven days ago and needed a replay (and a penalty shootout) to beat Norwich in the FA Cup during the same week.
Chelsea have won just two matches in 90 minutes during 2018 so far and they will be hoping to make it a hat-trick against The Cherries.
