Bournemouth vs Chelsea Preview

April 7, 2017
By: Deke Hardman

Saturday’s Premier League action concludes at the Vitality Stadium where Bournemouth host runaway Premier League leaders Chelsea.

The Cherries scored a late equaliser at Liverpool on Wednesday evening to extend their unbeaten run to five games with that point moving them to seven points clear of the bottom three, and to within just two of the top ten.

They have a tough trip to second place Tottenham Hotspur following this fixture before playing the divisions bottom two teams before the end of the month.

Dan Gosling and Junior Stanislas are both injury doubts so Ryan Fraser could return to the starting line-up for the hosts and Tyrone Mings completes his five game suspension.

Top scorer Josh King can be backed at 11.0 (10/1) to open the scoring with Paddy Power, with Benik Afobe a 13.0 (12/1) chance with Sky Bet.

The home win is widely available at a price of 6.5 (11/2) with the visitors favourites at a best price of 1.62 (8/13). The draw can be backed at 4.2 (16/5) with Bet Victor.

Antonio Conte’s side bounced back from last weekend’s shock defeat by Crystal Palace with a 2-1 victory over Manchester City midweek.

Tottenham Hotspur’s late come-from-behind win over Swansea City saw them keep the gap between themselves and the Blues at seven points and that deficit could be reduced by the time this game kicks off with the North London side hosting Watford in Saturday’s early kick off.

Victor Moses could return for the away side after missing the last two games with a toe injury while Conte must decide between Kurt Zouma and the man who replaced him on Wednesday evening – Nemanja Matic for a starting berth.

Diego Costa is favourite to get the first goal of the game at 4.33 (10/3) with Paddy Power with Wednesday’s hero Eden Hazard a 6.0 (5/1) chance with a variety of firms.

Hazard was on the scoresheet as Chelsea romped to a 3-0 victory when these sides met at Stamford Bridge on Boxing Day, and you can back another Blues win to nil this time around at 2.63 (13/8) with Stan James.
