Bournemouth vs Chelsea Form
The Cherries are currently enduring a slump, having dropped from second to 14th in just over a month. Bournemouth suffered their fourth loss in five games in their recent home match against Everton, losing 0-1.
Chelsea's form has also dipped recently, with a disappointing 3-1 defeat away to Leeds. This result leaves them nine points behind Arsenal in the title race.
Bournemouth vs Chelsea Head to Head
Chelsea have dominated recent encounters between these two sides, remaining undefeated in their last eight matches against Bournemouth in all competitions.
However, Bournemouth will take some confidence from the fact that the last time the sides played, the game ended in a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge back in January. Of the previous six matches between the sides, Chelsea have won four and there have been two draws.

Prediction: Bournemouth 2-1 Chelsea
Bournemouth's recent struggles have seen them slide down the table, but they will be buoyed by playing at home. Chelsea, despite their superior squad, are experiencing a dip in form and have several key players missing. The forecast suggests that the game will see a high number of cards shown, with both sides likely to be cautioned frequently. I'm going against the form book here and predicting a narrow win for the home side.

Chelsea are in poor form following a dreadful performance at Leeds, while Bournemouth need to bounce back after a recent slump. With the Blues struggling for form and missing key players through injury and suspension, Bournemouth have a great chance to take advantage.
