Chelsea will be hoping to continue their good run of form when they play Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge in Saturday’s late game.

The Blues have won two and drawn one of their last three games in all competitions after losing three of the previous four, restoring some belief that they can rescue their season.

Jose Mourinho’s men have some winnable games on the horizon with Leicester City, Watford and Sunderland among their next opponents, so a win  could set the tone for what is to come in the next few matches.

Manager Eddie Howe will be hoping his side can display some of the resilience they showed in the last game as Junior Stanislas scored a late equalizer to ensure a share of the spoils at home to Everton.

However, they will be coming up against a Chelsea side with a point to prove in front of their home fans with makes the task a whole lot more difficult for the visitors.
