Both Teams to Score – No
We're not convinced that this game end up being a classic so we've gone with a both teams to score – no bet as this game feels like it might well be light on goals. Both teams have scored in just one of the last five competitive meetings between these two clubs. Chelsea's last four competitive and non-competitive fixtures have ended with just one team getting on the scoreboard, while three of Bournemouth's last six matches have ended the same way.
Under 2.5 Goals
Under 2.5 goals have been produced in three of the last five competitive meetings between Chelsea and Bournemouth and we're backing a low-scoring game between the two sides once again this week. Chelsea's last four matches in all competitions, including friendlies, have witnessed fewer than three goals scored, while Bournemouth returned to action in midweek with a 1-0 defeat at Newcastle in the League Cup.

What will the team lineups for this festive match-up?
Chelsea
Chelsea's last competitive game came away at Newcastle back in November where a solitary goal from Willock proved enough to defeat Graham Potter's men. Chelsea have a number of injury concerns heading into this game with Kante, Kepa, Chilwell, Loftus-Cheek, James, Broja, Chukwuemeka and Fofana either ruled out or facing late fitness tests.
Predicted Lineup: Mendy (GK), Azpilicueta, Koulibaly, Chalobah, Kovačić, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Mount, Gallagher, Hall & Broja
Bournemouth
The Cherries will be hoping that even though they lost against Newcastle in the midweek League Cup action, the extra match fitness will come in handy ahead of their trip to Chelsea. Brooks, Meto, Lerma. Tavernier, Kelly and Fredericks are doubts for the trip to Stamford Bridge due to injury.
Predicted Lineup: Travers (GK), Smith, Senesi, Mepham, Zemura, Christie, Cook, Billing, Moore, Solanke & Anthony

Player to Watch: Mason Mount
Chelsea are in need of some divine intervention right now as Graham Potter's side have been in poor form of late.
One player that could help to the team's fortunes around is England international Mason Mount who has chipped in with 2-goals and 2-assists in the Premier League this season.
There has been talk about the player leaving Chelsea next season but if Potter can get the best out of Mount and build a team around him, the player may decide to stay and help Chelsea win trophies.
We're backing Mount to make the difference in the game against Bournemouth either by scoring a goal or creating one. Mount will be fresh despite going with England to the World Cup as the midfielder didn't play much but did have a big influence in the final game against France by winning a penalty that Kane sadly missed.
