Chelsea and Bournemouth will look to secure positive results in Saturday’s Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge, with the international break offering a chance to regroup after the Blues’ dip in form and the Cherries’ winless start under Marco Rose.
Xabi Alonso's men were humiliated 3-0 by Brentford before the break, giving the capital club three weeks to reflect on the West London derby defeat as they prepare to respond against a side they have beaten in five of their last 10 meetings.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all the team news for both clubs.
