How the teams line up
Confirmed line-ups arrive about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Chelsea
One of the league's best sides. Chelsea should have most of the ball in front of their own fans at Stamford Bridge, so the question is whether Bournemouth can stay compact for 90 minutes.
Away
AFC Bournemouth
A solid mid-table side. Bournemouth are hard to break down on the road at Stamford Bridge, but chances can be scarce at the other end too.
Match preview
The 2026/27 Premier League brings AFC Bournemouth to Chelsea's Stamford Bridge. We project 2.03 expected goals for Chelsea against 0.90 for Bournemouth, and that gap drives our 64% rating for Chelsea. Team news lands about an hour before kick-off, and a key absence can move this more than anything else, so check the line-ups before you bet.
