The champions of England came from behind to beat Watford 4-2 in their league match at Stamford Bridge last weekend, but the Blues will be hoping to put their defensive woes behind them when they travel to Dorset for their weekend match against AFC Bournemouth.
Antonio Conte’s men are currently trailing League leaders, Manchester City, by nine points as they prepare for their away match against Eddie Howe’s Cherries, and cannot afford to add to their three defeats if they are to mount a realistic title defense.
Bournemouth will be hoping to utilize their pile of Chelsea’s ex-players to their advantage as Begovic and Nathan Ake face their old teammates.
Chelsea Lineup should include: Thibaut Courtois- Antonio Rudiger, Gary Cahill, David Luiz- Marcos Alonso, Cesc Fabregas, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Cesar Azpilicueta- Alvaro Morata, Eden Hazard, Pedro Rodriguez
AFC Bournemouth lineup should include: Asmir Begovic- Simon Francis, Nathan Ake, Charlie Daniels, Adam Smith- Andrew Surman, Benik Afobe, Lewis Cook, Junior Stanislas- Jordon Ibe- Jermain Defoe.
