    GOAL! Pedro has scored and Chelsea have the lead! It's a good finish from the edge of the box but it looks like it took a deflection.
Substitution

at Chelsea
  • 61'
    Giroud on for Morata.
  • 55'
    Kante cynically stops a Bournemouth break and can have no complaints with a yellow card.
  • 55'
    Real chance! Begovic makes a fine save to deny Alonso!
  • 50'
    Second half has begun the same way the first ended... Scrappy.
  • 46'
    Bournemouth kick off and we are go for another 45 minutes.
  • 45'
    Half time and it remains goalless. Chelsea started with purpose but it's all gone a bit flat from them in the last 15 minutes.
  • 45'
    Alonso hits the post after Hazard tees him up!
  • 41'
    The 'Cherries' having a spell of pressure now, but they don't look like scoring either.
  • 35'
    Chelsea struggling to break Bournemouth down now, who have improved hugely in the last 10 minutes.
  • 30'
    Coming into this a bit now! Wilson fires over from an early cross when he could have scored.
  • 27'
    Bournemouth's main threat appears to be coming from long throws.
  • 23'
    Chelsea are playing some really nice football here, a lot of one touch stuff. Jorginho fires just wide from the edge of the box at the end of another move.
  • 19'
    Free kick to Chelsea on the edge of the box after Hazard goes on a trademark run and is tripped. Gosling in the book, maybe a harsh yellow. Alonso hits it into the wall as Willian and Luiz look on.
  • 16'
    From the throw in, Gosling volleys just over the bar!
  • 15'
    Bournemouth break and have a chance after a terrible pass from David Luiz! They can't quite stick it and the ball runs out for a throw.
  • 14'
    Morata has the ball in the net and he's lobbed Begovic. Offside.
  • 11'
    Bournemouth easily clear a Chelsea corner.
  • 7'
    Begovic makes a double save on the ground from a Chelsea before the lines are cleared. Here come Chelsea again...
  • 6'
    Chelsea are on top here, as Ake hacks a clearance away against his former club.
  • 3'
    Francis does well to cut out a ball over the top from Jorginho with Hazard closing in.
  • 1'
    Chelsea kick things off!

    Meanwhile Eddie how springs a surprise, going with a back three and giving debuts to Lerma and Rico!

    William comes in for Pedro in the only change from the side which beat Newcastle last week.

    We'll have team news for you soon...
  • PRVW
    This season, both sides are off to impressive starts. Bournemouth are yet to lose a game - a draw with 10-man Everton the only blot on their record. Chelsea meanwhile have nine points out of nine and Sarri will look to continue that perfect start.
  • PRVW
    An unlikely bond perhaps, but the two managers have studied each other extensively. When Bournemouth were in the lower leagues, they travelled to Empoli when Sarri was managing there. More recently, Napoli travelled to the south coast for a friendly against Eddie Howe's side.
  • PRVW
    Much of the talk leading into this game has centred on the close friendship between Eddie Howe and Maurizio Sarri.
