Chelsea was dismal before the World Cup break, and their fans will be keen to see their club return to form in this second half of the season.
The Blues struggled under Thomas Tuchel, and the German lost his job, but things did not change when Graham Potter was named their manager as his replacement. Instead, it seemed to get worse.
The Englishman is managing his first big club and needs time to understand what it means to be the boss at the highest level, which means he was probably the happiest manager during the WC break.
He would have used that time to know his players better and also get them prepared for the return of league football in a pre-season style, having not had one with them before now.
Bournemouth has done very well in recent weeks, and they will be tricky opponents for the Blues to face, which could make life hard for them, even though this game is played at home.
Chelsea has lost all their last four games in all competitions, while Bournemouth has lost only one and won two of their last three.
