Chelsea vs. Bournemouth: Head-to-head record and past meetings after Premier League clash

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 26

Draws: 5

Chelsea wins: 16

As Bournemouth only became a member of the Premier League party in 2015, meetings between the Cherries and Chelsea have been few and far between down the years, as they have met just 26 times in all competitions.

From their previous battles, Chelsea unsurprisingly have the bragging rights with 16 victories compared to five for their South Coast counterparts, and only five games have ended level, with their most recent stalemate a thrilling 2-2 stalemate in December 2025 at Stamford Bridge.

However, normal service was resumed in October 2026, when the Blues emerged as 5-1 winners at home, with two goals from Jordan Henderson and Joao Pedro, as well as a solitary strike from Morgan Rogers, enough to take three points.

Henderson's performance was surprising, with the 36-year-old not only scoring from distance before the second minute was over, but also striking a late free kick into the back of the net.

The two sides' first meeting of 2024-25 was closely-fought, as Chelsea needed Robert Sanchez to save the penalty he conceded and make a few more crucial stops to ensure that Christopher Nkunku's winner would be the decisive moment in a 1-0 success.

That close contest succeeded a 2-1 victory for Chelsea on the final weekend of the 2023-24 Premier League season, where Moises Caicedo memorably scored a 50-yard stunner before an emotional farewell ceremony for departing defender Thiago Silva.

Chelsea now have five wins under their belts from their last nine top-flight battles against the Cherries, who are also winless in 10 against the West London giants since a shock 1-0 Stamford Bridge victory in December 2019.

Eleven months before their most recent Premier League away win at Chelsea, Bournemouth pulled off an almighty shock in a 4-0 thrashing of the Blues on January 30, 2019; on January 31, 2018, they also stormed to an equally unbelievable 3-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.

The first-ever Premier League meeting between Bournemouth and Chelsea in December 2015 also went the way of the Cherries, who evidently enjoy winter-time fixtures against the Blues, and the two sides met just five times before Bournemouth's Premier League inauguration.

One of those clashes came in the Zenith Data Systems Cup - also known as the Full Members' Cup - a competition that ran for seven years from 1985 to 1992 after English teams were banned from Europe in the wake of the Heysel Stadium Disaster.

With seven goals in this fixture alone, former Chelsea attacker Eden Hazard is comfortably the highest individual scorer in this matchup; ex-Cherries man Joshua King is the Belgian's closest challenger with four efforts.
