Team News: Chelsea vs. Bournemouth injury, suspension list, predicted XIs

Chelsea and Bournemouth will look to secure positive results in Saturday’s Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge, with the international break offering a chance to regroup after the Blues’ dip in form and the Cherries’ winless start under Marco Rose. 

Xabi Alonso's men were humiliated 3-0 by Brentford before the break, giving the capital club three weeks to reflect on the West London derby defeat as they prepare to respond against a side they have beaten in five of their last 10 meetings. 

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all the team news for both clubs.
