Chelsea host Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, October 10 (10:00 AM ET \/ 9:00 AM CT \/ 7:00 AM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chelsea will be without knee-injury absentee Jo\u00e3o Pedro, calf-issue casualty Moises Caicedo and thigh-injury absentee Reece James, with Marco Palestra and Emmanuel Emegha also out and groin-issue doubt Cole Palmer, ankle doubt Jamie Gittens and Mike Penders all touch-and-go; Morgan Rogers and Pedro Neto look likely to lead the attacking line instead, with Rogers having scored three goals and created eleven chances already this season. Bournemouth arrive with the sidelined Justin Kluivert joined on the sidelines by ankle-injury absentee Eli Kroupi, thigh-issue absentee Julian Araujo, knee-injury absentee Veljko Milosavljevic and calf-issue absentee Amine Adli, leaving Marcus Tavernier and Alex Scott to carry the bulk of their attacking threat.<\/p>\n

Chelsea sit on seven points from five league games, Bournemouth on three points from the same number of matches, still waiting for a first win, though three draws in that spell show they aren’t easy to beat. Expect goals at both ends at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea’s greater firepower proving decisive before the final whistle.<\/p>\n\n\n
