EPL: Chelsea Vs Bournemouth Team News And Live Stream
Chelsea were on a nightmare run of form before the World Cup break – they lost their last three games and four out of five in all competitions including three in a row in the league.
It saw them plummet down to eighth place in the table and with their notoriously impatient owners, it's hardly a position Potter would want to be in.
He's not exactly helped with an enormous list of unavailable players for this encounter. Mateo Kovacic and Hakim Ziyech were World Cup semi-finalists so are unlikely to feature and there are injuries to Wesley Fofana, N'Golo Kante, Armando Broja, Carney Chukwuemeka, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Ben Chilwell and Kepa Arrizabalaga, with only Reece James expected to return on Tuesday.
Bournemouth were on a desperate run themselves after four league losses in a row, but they at least showed signs of recovery before the break with a double success over Everton in the league and Carabao Cup, before a narrow loss to Newcastle United eliminated them last week.
