Hello and welcome to **football.london** for live coverage from the Vitality Stadium as Chelsea take on Bournemouth in the Premier League.
The Blues will be looking to put the disaster at Leeds United earlier in the week firmly behind them with a positive result down on the south coast, but in the Cherries, they face another tough contest. Though Andoni Iraola's side have not won in the Premier League since late-October.
Enzo Maresca made wholesale changes once again on Wednesday night for the Blues' defeat to Leeds, and many are expecting the head coach to do the same in Bournemouth today. Whatever team Maresca does field, he will be confident it will have too much for the out-of-form Cherries.
While talk of challenging for the title has taken the back seat for now, it is crucial Chelsea do not lose any more points on those around them. Kick-off in Bournemouth is at 3pm (UK time), and **Bobby Vincent** is down on the south coast throughout the day to bring you live updates below.
