Home
AFC Bournemouth
Bournemouth are tough to score against in front of their own fans at Vitality Stadium, though they don't create a great deal themselves.
Away
Chelsea
One of the league's best sides. Chelsea should have most of the ball on the road at Vitality Stadium, so the question is whether Bournemouth can stay compact for 90 minutes.
