Chelsea once looked like the team most likely to present any kind of challenge to Liverpool's march to the Premier League title, but Enzo Maresca's side have now gone four league games without a win and sit 10 points behind the leaders. A 5-0 thrashing of League Two's Morecambe in the FA Cup over the weekend could be seen to boost confidence ahead of this tough match-up, but very few of the players who featured are likely to retain their places here, such is the depth of the Blues' squad.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, have now gone eight Premier League games unbeaten, winning five of those and leaving the Cherries just three points behind tonight's opponents in the last of the Champions League places. They kept up that record by beating West Brom in the FA Cup at the weekend, coming from behind to put five past the promotion-chasing Championship side. Can they maintain that good form here against Cole Palmer and co?
Tune in as this game will have huge implications for both teams. Make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action with our how to watch Premier League live streams guide.
