After going through 14 Premier League rounds, Chelsea have won 6 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats. The Blues have collected 21 points, and are only ranked 8th in the latest Premier League standings.
Looking at Arsenal who are at the top of the standings with 37 points, it means they are 16 points adrift with Chelsea, so basically Graham Potter’s troops have found it difficult to compete for the Premier League title this season.
For Chelsea, the more realistic goal this season is not to fight for the title, but to reach the top four of the Premier League and get a ticket to the Champions League for the 2023-24 season. Currently, Chelsea are still 8 points adrift of Tottenham who are fourth in the Premier League standings.

The Cherries have scored 12 goals in the last 6 matches, and their average efficiency is as high as 2 goals per game.
Before losing 0-1 to Newcastle United in the last 16 of the English League Cup, Bournemouth ended the first half of the season with 2 consecutive wins in all competitions.

However, in the last 5 main matches against Chelsea, Bournemouth has 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Even though the meeting record is not so good, past confrontations have not scared The Cherries.
