Both of these clubs had disappointing weekends. Chelsea were beaten at home by Aston Villa and are fifth in the Premier League. The Blues will hope to return to winning ways with a home victory over Bournemouth who are down at 15th in the table. Time for our match prediction.
Chelsea led at home to Aston Villa on Saturday but ended up losing 2-1. They are now 13 points behind league leaders Arsenal. Their main task now appears to be ensuring they secure Champions League football next season. Consistency is a bit of a problem for the club who are having a disappointing end to a year that has seen them win the Conference League and become club world champions.
Bournemouth suffered another heavy defeat at the weekend. The Cherries have gone nine league games without a win and are also likely to soon see Antoine Semenyo leave the club. They desperately need to get something from this game to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle.

Chelsea - Bournemouth: Form Analysis
Chelsea's home loss to Aston Villa on Saturday was their fifth in this season's Premier League. They have gone two league games without a win but falling well behind the top three. Home form has seen them win four out of their nine league games with three being lost.
They are unbeaten in their last eight games against Bournemouth and looking at the form of their opponents, Chelsea will be confident of earning three points from this game. If that is the case it’ll be their fourth home win in six home league games.
Bournemouth desperately need a win.
Bournemouth had drawn their last two league games before being thrashed 4-1 at Brentford on Saturday. They have now gone nine league matches without a victory and seven on the road and are only nine points above the bottom three.
Earlier this month they drew 0-0 at home with Chelsea. On the road though they have been conceding goals galore. 21 have been put past them in their last six away league fixtures. The past two have seen them concede four goals and at least three in the last four. They have to find some way of tightening up their defence.

Chelsea & Bournemouth Squad Analysis
Chelsea played well in the first half in Saturday's home game against Aston Villa. They didn't do so well in the second half and ended up losing 2-1. They will want to bounce back from that defeat with a win over Bournemouth.
The Blues have a doubt over Marc Cucurella who sustained a suspected hamstring injury against Villa. Scans are going to be held to determine how bad the injury is. Jorrel Hato will miss this game.
With a busy festive schedule, we can expect some squad rotation for this game. Estevao and Liam Delap came on in the game against Villa and may well start against Bournemouth. There could also be a recall for Wesley Fofana.
Last game for Semenyo?
This may well be the last game Antoine Semenyo plays for Bournemouth. He's expected to be leaving the club in the January transfer window, possibly to Chelsea.. The Cherries will miss him badly as he scored their only goal in Saturday's 4-1 loss at Brentford.
With their recent form being so disappointing, Bournemouth must wisely use the funds they get for Semenyo. They are likely to make several changes for this trip to Stamford Bridge with Justin Kluivert, Evanilson and David Brooks all possible starters.

Our Chelsea vs Bournemouth Prediction
Chelsea suffered a disappointing home loss to in-form Aston Villa on Saturday. They certainly won't want to lose another game at Stamford Bridge as the Blues chase a place in next season's Champions League as their title challenge looks to be over.
They face a Bournemouth side that is on a long winless run and conceding far too many goals. If Semenyo does leave, signing a few defenders might be a good idea for the Cherries. Our main Chelsea v Bournemouth prediction is Chelsea wins.
