Chelsea's Premier League title hopes are hanging by a thread and they can ill afford any more dropped points when struggling AFC Bournemouth come calling.
The Blues are now a whopping 13 points behind leaders Arsenal after their damaging 2-1 loss at home to third-placed Aston Villa on Saturday.
It looked like Enzo Maresca's men would reel Villa in after dominating the first half but they fell apart after the break as a goals bet landed for our man Greg.
Chelsea have now won just once in their last six Premier League games so they will need to up their game just to stay in the fight for a top-four finish.
Bournemouth are in even worse form, with Saturday's 4-1 battering at Brentford making it nine matches without a win in all competitions.
Andoni Iraola's men were flying at the start of the season but their wings have been clipped and they now sit 15th in the table.
The Cherries are sinking like a stone and if they keep racking up defeats they could even be dragged into the relegation dogfight.
How the bookies view it: Blues to get back on track
Bournemouth have been written off after their slump in form and are as big as 23/5 with BetMGM for a win at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea's best price is just 8/13 at 888Sport and the draw pays 33/10 with BetMGM.
Recent head to head: Cherries in need of a lift
Chelsea are unbeaten in their last eight games against AFC Bournemouth, albeit four of those matches have ended level. It was a 0-0 draw when these sides faced off on the south coast earlier this season and the last meeting in London was a 2-2 thriller.
Players to watch: Delap fresh for the fight
Maresca has been a tinkerman this season and could make a few changes with such a short turnaround since Saturday's clash. Liam Delap could be unleashed from the start and the striker is 9/5 at Coral for anytime scorer. He's also 11/8 at Bet365 for over 1.5 efforts on target.
This could be Antoine Semenyo's Bourneouth farewell with the winger set to move on when the transfer window opens. He scored at the weekend and is 11/4 at Paddy Power for a last hurrah.
Probable line-ups
Chelsea's squad is in decent shape, with only Romeo Lavia and Levi Colwill sidelined. Marc Cucurella is a doubt after going off against Villa with a hamstring issue.
Bournemouth have more issues, with Ben Gannon-Doak, Veljko Milosavljevic, Matai Akinmboni, Tyler Adams and Alex Scott set to miss out.
Chelsea: Sanchez, Gusto, Acheampong, Chalobah, James, Fernandez, Caicedo, Palmer, Estevao, Neto, Delap.
AFC Bournemouth: Petrovic, Truffert, Diakite, Senesi, Soler, Christie, Brooks, Tavernier, Kluivert, Semenyo, Evanilson.
Anything else catch the eye?
It's easy to see why Bournemouth are struggling, with their defence shipping nine goals across their last three Premier League outings.
We didn't see any goals when these sides last faced off but I'd be surprised if there was a repeat and over 2.5 Chelsea goals pays 17/10 at 888Sport.
The Blues won 9-3 on the corner count when Bournemouth came calling last term so Chelsea -2 in the corner handicap could pay off at 5/4 with BetVictor.
Iraola could bring back Ryan Christie to add a bit of bite to his midfield. The Scot always gets stuck in and looks good for a card at 5/2 with BetVictor if he starts.
