Chelsea will look to end their Premier League winless streak when they host Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, January 14. The Blues, who haven’t secured a league victory since December 16, aim to build on their confidence-boosting 5-0 FA Cup win over Morecambe.
Manager Enzo Maresca is expected to field a strong lineup as Chelsea push to regain momentum in the race for a top-three finish. Reece James, who impressed in the FA Cup, could return to the starting XI, replacing Malo Gusto at right-back.
Maresca is also likely to bring back key players rested in the FA Cup, including Cole Palmer, Jadon Sancho, Moises Caicedo, and Enzo Fernandez. With Bournemouth battling injuries, Chelsea will look to capitalise on their opponents’ vulnerabilities.
Chelsea’s Potential lineup vs Bournemouth:
Sanchez; James, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson
With their strongest XI potentially on display, Chelsea will aim to dominate proceedings and secure three crucial points in front of their home fans.
