Chelsea return to Premier League duty at Stamford Bridge tonight looking to end a recent slump to reignite their faint title hopes. After a superb opening few months of Enzo Maresca’s tenure that appeared to have them firmly in the championship mix, the Blues have struggled of late and have failed to win any of their last four top-flight matches.

Chelsea - who are trying to sign Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel - are in danger of becoming embroiled in a real fight just to make the top four with a slew of teams not far behind, including next opponents Bournemouth. Maresca’s side have Romeo Lavia and Noni Madueke back starting and got a confidence boost with Saturday’s 4-0 demolition of League Two strugglers Morecambe in the FA Cup, though tonight will be a far tougher test.

The Cherries have been flying under Andoni Iraola and are now unbeaten in eight to move up to seventh and only three points behind Chelsea, winning three of their last four on the road. However, injuries to Evanilson and Enes Unal threaten to derail their progress as David Brooks and Tyler Adams come in. Follow Chelsea vs Bournemouth live below!
