Entertainment looks on the cards at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon as Chelsea host Bournemouth in the Premier League.
Xabi Alonso made an encouraging start to life as Chelsea manager, with the Spaniard winning his opening two matches in charge of the West London club.
However, the Blues have gone on to pick up a solitary point across each of their next three Premier League matches (W0-D1-L2), seeing them fall down to 10th in the table.
The latest of which was a bruising 3-0 defeat to West London rivals Brentford – on an evening I landed a 10/11 winner.
Bournemouth also headed into the prolonged international break off the back of a defeat, as they were beaten 0-1 at home to Liverpool.
Marco Rose is still searching for his first Premier League win as Cherries boss (W0-D3-L2), leaving them outside the relegation zone only on goal difference.
How the bookies view it: Chelsea favourites
Despite picking up a solitary point from their last three Premier League matches, Chelsea come into this clash as favourites to secure all three points, with bet365 pricing the hosts at 13/20.
Bournemouth are 15/4 to claim their first Premier League win of the season, whilst the draw is 16/5.
Head to head: Nine unbeaten for the Blues
Chelsea are unbeaten in each of their previous nine Premier League meetings with Bournemouth (W4-D5-L0).
However, it is worth noting that five of those matches have been draws, including each of the last three – including back-to-back 2-2 stalemates at Stamford Bridge.
Players to watch: More magic from Morgan?
Morgan Rogers has had a terrific start to life at Chelsea following his summer move from Aston Villa, scoring four times and also registering four assists.
The England international also provided a goal contribution in each of his last two appearances for The Three Lions against Croatia and Czechia respectively, and appeals at 4/5 at bet365 to Score or Assist in West London on Saturday.
