Latest Chelsea vs Bournemouth squad information

Alongside the already confirmed absentees of Wesley Fofana (hamstring), Benoit Badiashile (thigh), Mykhaylo Mudryk (suspended), Omari Kellyman (hamstring) and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (unknown), Chelsea's only worry this weekend is Noni Madueke, who missed the Morecambe game through illness.

The winger is in a race against time to be fit for Tuesday. Maresca is expected to name a full-strength squad after last week's testing, with up to 10 changes possible. Pedro Neto is likely to be the only starter from Saturday's win who could retain his place.

Tosin Adarabioyo has every reason to return to defence, but young talent Josh Acheampong - who has returned to the first team after committing to a new contract - has quickly won over Maresca and will start this match.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, were able to score five goals against West Brom despite losing Enes Unal (knee) and Evanilson (foot) to long-term injuries earlier this month. Despite recalling Jebbison from his loan at Watford, the Cherries are expected to bring in a new striker this month.

The 21-year-old has impressed and earned himself a starting spot at Stamford Bridge. But Ouattara or Semenyo could be the front man for the hosts, with youngster Ben Winterburn set to make way.

Marcos Senesi (thigh), Julian Araujo (thigh), Alex Scott (knee), Marcus Tavernier (thigh), Luis Sinisterra (thigh) and Adam Smith (unknown) are still sidelined with injuries. Max Aarons is reportedly on the verge of a move to Valencia. However, the defender played the first half of the game against West Brom.

Latest Chelsea vs Bournemouth football review

As usual in cup competitions this season, Chelsea's second team under Maresca had a leisurely afternoon when they hosted Morecambe at their home ground in West London and won 5-0 on aggregate.

Spectacular goals from outside the box were the highlight of the day at Stamford Bridge. Tosin Adarabioyo and Joao Felix both grabbed a brace, along with Christopher Nkunku’s usual cup goal. The striker had earlier provided a moment of splendour when his penalty was saved by Harry Burgoyne.

That missed penalty was a small note in the symphony of Chelsea's victory, when Maresca's team has experienced many disappointments in the domestic tournament in recent times. These results seem to prove his words right, when the coach admitted that The Blues are not real candidates for the title.

In fact, Chelsea have picked up just two points from a possible 12 in their last four top-flight games, most recently a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace that has left them 10 points behind leaders Liverpool (having played one game more).

Newcastle, Manchester City and upcoming opponents Bournemouth can all overcome Chelsea with positive results in midweek, with the Blues in danger of suffering back-to-back Premier League defeats at Stamford Bridge for the first time since September 2023.

Having also scored five goals against lower-league sides at the weekend, Bournemouth were forced to battle hard against West Brom after Caleb Taylor opened the scoring for the Baggies, but the team responded impressively to continue their unbeaten run.

Dango Ouattara scored twice, alongside goals from Justin Kluivert, Antoine Semenyo and Daniel Jebbison in a third-round win at the Vitality Stadium that also marked Bournemouth's ninth consecutive unbeaten game.

Andoni Iraola's side failed to produce much in attack away to Everton on January 4, but David Brooks's stunning curling strike was enough to boost the Cherries' reputation in Europe and cement their place in the top seven of the Premier League.

Since their last defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion at the end of November, Bournemouth have made history by going eight games unbeaten in the Premier League. Only two teams are currently on a longer unbeaten run: Liverpool (15) and Arsenal (10).

Good away form has been key to the Cherries’ quest for European football, with the visitors having scored in each of their last five away games. However, they have not beaten Chelsea in their last six meetings, following a 1-0 home defeat to the Blues in September, with Christopher Nkunku scoring.
