Bournemouth are yet to win a Premier League game this season, but they came incredibly close last time out away at Brentford. The sides went in level at half-time before David Brooks' 77th-minute tap-in had the traveling fans getting ready to celebrate – but Bryan Mbeumo had other ideas. The Brentford forward struck in stoppage time to ensure the points were shared instead, so the Cherries will be hoping they can go one better when they host Chelsea today.
Andoni Iraola has made three changes for this game, with Dango Ouattara, Marcus Tavernier and Lloyd Kelly in for Antoine Semenyo, Justin Kluivert and Marcos Senesi, who all drop the bench.
The Blues' lacklustre start to the season continued as they were beaten at home by Nottm Forest in their last game before the international break. It's a result that leaves the Premier League's big spenders with just one win in four games – a start that no doubt puts new manager Mauricio Pochettino under quite some pressure.
There are two changes to the Chelsea XI that started against Forest, with Lesley Ugochukwu and Mykhailo Mudryk in for Moises Caicedo and Ben Chilwell, suggesting that Levi Colwill will play at left-back. Conor Gallagher captains the side.
Can Poch get his players living up to their price tags? Here are all the details of how to watch a Bournemouth vs Chelsea live stream today. And if you want to watch any other games this weekend or across the season, our general guide to watch Premier League live streams is the place to go.
How to watch the Bournemouth vs Chelsea live stream wherever you are
As you'll read below, the Bournemouth vs Chelsea live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual streaming service?
The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.
Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long-term.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to the NBC website, Sling TV or another service and watch the game.
