MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
@SimonBrotherton: It has turned out to be a decent week for Chelsea, with qualification secured for the knockout stage of the Champions League, but they'll be keen to get back on track domestically after last week's disappointment at Goodison Park.
This fixture has been a mixed bag for them in recent seasons, with Bournemouth winning on two of their four Premier League visits.
The timing doesn't look great for Eddie Howe this time though as his team head for Stamford Bridge beset by injuries and in a horrible run of form. A run of five straight defeats and only one win in 10 leaves them just a point above the relegation zone.
VIEW FROM THE DUGOUT
Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard on a new contract for Fikayo Tomori: "He has come a long way and it's all his own doing - he has shown a work ethic and a desire to improve.
"I have full trust in him and I am delighted for him, and now he must not take anything for granted."
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe on five straight losses: "In these moments I try to be at my best, when things are most challenging. I'd like to think I've handled these situations before and I can do it again.
"Frank [Lampard] and his team have done so well, it's a different Chelsea this season but still a very effective team. But we feel, if we're at our best, we can beat anyone."
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
The Cherries have got a long list of injuries to contend with, especially at the back, and I just do not see them keeping Chelsea out.
