Chelsea start the week in third place in the Premier League and five points clear of fifth placed Tottenham as they bid to secure a place in the Champions League next season. They received another favourable home draw in the FA Cup and that may be their best hope of winning a trophy this season. Their league form is strong though with no defeats in their last eight games and only one defeat in the last 16. Home form has seen them lose just twice to Burnley and Manchester City and they have kept clean sheets in their last four home league games. Good stats but still not good enough to make any impression on Manchester City. Bournemouth are 12th in the table, which in most seasons would mean a distinct lack of relegation worries. Not so this season though and Bournemouth are only three points above the relegation zone. They beat Arsenal 2-1 at home in their last league game but it's their away form which is a major concern with no wins in their last six on the road. They haven't won any of their last ten games against Chelsea and already lost to them twice this season. Go for Chelsea to win this and be ahead at half and full time.
