Chelsea are ready to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they visit Bournemouth on Sunday morning, 17 September 2023. Mauricio Pochettino’s team wants to improve their position in the standings after only picking up 4 points from their first 4 matches.
Chelsea have spent a lot of money to strengthen their squad with many new quality players. They have big ambitions to compete at the top and challenge for the title. However, they have not shown a consistent and convincing performance at the start of this season.

Pochettino admitted that his team still needed time to adapt to his playing style and the new players. He hopes that the rest time during the international break can help his team to improve their quality and cohesion. He also expressed his optimism that Chelsea could achieve positive results in the match against Bournemouth.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, is a team that just got promoted to the Premier League last season. They managed to stay in the top flight of English football by ranking 15th at the end of the season. However, they have not shown sufficient ability to compete with the big teams this season.
They only picked up 2 points from their first 4 games, with two goalless draws against Southampton and Brighton, and two 0-2 defeats to Arsenal and Manchester United. They are currently in the relegation zone with 16th place and a goal difference of minus four.
Bournemouth coach, Andoni Iraola, admitted that his team faced a big challenge to survive in the Premier League. He said that his team had to work hard and be confident to face strong teams like Chelsea. He also realized that his team had to improve their effectiveness in front of the opponent’s goal.

They have won 10 of their last 12 games against Bournemouth in all competitions, including three straight wins with an aggregate score of 9-2. The last meeting between the two teams took place in April last year, when Chelsea won 3-1 at the Vitality Stadium.
