Chelsea will face Bournemouth in the Premier League tonight as both teams look to improve their performance.
Following a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa over the weekend, Enzo Maresca’s team has struggled, winning just one of their last six league matches. They currently sit fifth in the Premier League, outside the Champions League spots.
Bournemouth enters this match with their own issues, having not won in nine Premier League games. They suffered a heavy 4-1 loss to Brentford in their last outing and have only managed one clean sheet during this stretch.
Chelsea team news
Enzo Maresca returns to the sidelines after serving a touchline ban. Marc Cucurella is a doubt due to a hamstring injury sustained against Aston Villa, possibly leading to Malo Gusto starting at left-back.
Additionally, Maresca might change his defensive setup for this match. Reece James, who played right-back against Aston Villa after recent midfield appearances, could also see different positioning. Josh Acheampong is available for the full-back position, while Wesley Fofana and Tosin Adarabioyo will compete with Benoit Badiashile to partner Trevoh Chalobah in central defense.
Chelsea predicted lineup
Chelsea predicted XI: Sanchez; James, Tosin, Chalobah, Gusto; Caicedo, Fernandez, Palmer; Neto, Garnacho, Pedro.
When will the match kick off?
The game will take place at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, 30th December 2025, kicking off at 19:30 GMT.
