=10.5ptIn the last game, against Newcastle United, the Blues needed an own goal from Deandre Yedlin to win the game, keeping their 100% start intact and after earlier wins over Arsenal and Huddersfield, we can’t argue against the impact of new manager Maurizio Sarri. They have clearly recovered past their poor showing in the Community Shield earlier on and the fact they managed to hold on a number of key players has worked for them but they have conceded three goals in the last two league matches, a factor that should worry the manager. While Ngolo Kante has impressed in a defensive midfield role, Sarri has been deploying him in a more advanced position, perhaps that could be why the team is letting in some goals and considering the shaky nature of that defence, we are in for a good game, given Bournemouth head there with a run that has seen them score at least two goals in their last five matches. Bournemouth head to the game straight from a 3 – 0 win over MK Dons in the League Cup, which presented just the second clean sheet for them in the last five matches and as they head to this game, they have been far from convincing defensively. In their last league match Bournemouth went 2 – 0 down but credit to them as they fought their way back to a 2 – 2 draw with Everton. Facing a Chelsea side with at least two goals scored in the opening three matches presents a real threat for them and we expect them to concede here.
