Chelsea will be desperately seeking a return to winning ways when they travel to the south coast on Saturday to lock horns with Bournemouth in the Premier League.
Frank Lampard’s men were beaten 3-1 by the title challengers Arsenal earlier this week in a sixth successive defeat under the charge of their caretaker manager.
Let us now take a look at how the Chelsea side will line up for the upcoming game –
CHELSEA’S PREDICTED LINE UP (FORMATION)
4-3-3
Chelsea’s Predicted 11
Kepa will be the man between the goalposts with Lampard not expected to tinker around with the goalkeeper despite conceding three against Arsenal.
In the backline, there are no changes expected with Wesley Fofana and Thiago Silva likely to start as the two centre-backs once again.
The midfield ranks could have Conor Gallagher pushing for a recall to the first XI at the expense of Mateo Kovacic who was not at his best in the defeat to Arsenal on Tuesday.
Joao Felix will be another name eyeing a return to the team sheet with Raheem Sterling expected to make way for the on-loan forward.
