Chelsea will be out to snap a miserable three-game losing run in the Premier League when they resume top-flight duties against Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening.
The Blues went into the World Cup break languishing in eighth in the table, while the Cherries have surged to 14th spot but are still in danger of being dragged into the demotion dogfight.
We say: Chelsea 1-0 Bournemouth
A Chelsea team decimated by injuries versus a Bournemouth side feeling the effects of a winter bug does not have the makings of a classic, especially with Potter's side missing that golden touch in front of goal.
Barring that 1-0 loss to Arsenal, the Blues have held their own at Stamford Bridge and have not had a lengthy trip to Newcastle to take into account either, so we still have faith in a refreshed Chelsea side to end their streak of defeats by a narrow margin.

Manchester United will be looking to pick up where they left off in the Premier League on Tuesday evening, with the 20-time English champions welcoming Nottingham Forest to Old Trafford.
The Red Devils recorded a 2-1 victory over Fulham in their last league match on November 13, while Forest were also winners before the campaign was halted for the World Cup, beating Crystal Palace 1-0 at home.
We say: Manchester United 2-0 Nottingham Forest
Man United are likely to be missing three of their first-choice back four, which will certainly hand Forest confidence, but Ten Hag will still be able to select a high-quality side, and we are expecting the Red Devils to put an important three points on the board at Old Trafford.
