Chelsea return to Premier League with a trip to Bournemouth on Sunday.
Enzo Maresca's side were held to a 1-1 draw by Crystal Palace in their game prior to the international break, leaving them with four points from the opening three league matches of 2024/25.
The new manager would be forgiven for wanting this fixture to come around quickly as a distraction from the ongoing boardroom saga at Stamford Bridge, with a dispute between the club's owners threatening to overshadow Maresca's attempts to get Chelsea back on track towards challenging at the top end of the table.
Bournemouth produced a dramatic comeback to beat Everton 3-2 away from home last time out, having been trailing 2-0 until the 87th minute. They will hope to continue their winning ways against a team they held to a 0-0 draw in this same fixture almost exactly a year ago.
The Sporting News looks at the latest predicted lineups and confirmed team news.
Andoni Iraola may consider a few alterations from the dramatic win at Everton, having said he felt his team did not deserve their 3-2 victory. Luis Sinisterra could come in after scoring the winner off the bench at Goodison Park, while Adam Smith may start at right-back in place of new signing Julian Araujo, who played for Mexico during the international break.
