Chelsea vs Bournemouth: 2.70 Morgan Rogers bet to back in Premier League clash

It has been an average start for Chelsea in the Premier League under new boss Xabi Alonso, as they have already lost two of their five matches this season.

Surprisingly, the Blues are a point worse off than they were at the same stage under Enzo Maresca last season, but the good news is that they are still one of five unbeaten teams in the division.

Bournemouth head to Stamford Bridge on Saturday, October 10, in the hope of reigniting their season, after the first five games left them 17th in the standings, with new head coach Marco Rose still searching for his first victory.

One man who has been excellent since joining Chelsea in the summer is Morgan Rogers, and he is primed to cause trouble for the Cherries.

Morgan Rogers on a hot streak

There has been no shortage of goals when Chelsea were involved this season, as they are averaging three goals per league match at Stamford Bridge this season.

One of the men responsible for driving the Blues forward is England's Morgan Rogers, who made the summer switch from Aston Villa to West London.

Rogers already holds the title of joint-highest league goalscorer at Chelsea, alongside Joao Pedro, with both players last scoring in their home 2-2 draw with Hull City.

Together, their goals make up 30% of the Blues' Premier League total this term, and Rogers notched up three goals and an assist in his five league appearances for Chelsea.

The former Villa man also secured a goal and an assist for England in their recent two outings, which means he will be heading into this match high on confidence.

Chelsea vs Bournemouth best bets

Morgan Rogers to score anytime – 2.70

With his current scoring record in mind and his form, Rogers is likely to get some joy from the visitors' defence, especially with his recent goal coming in England's 7-0 rout of Croatia.

Rogers has an xG of 1.71, yet he has scored three goals in the Premier League, an indication that he is currently overperforming.

Morgan Rogers to get at least one assist – 3.95

The former Villa player has shown that he can be a threat in the final third, even if he is not the one scoring goals.

He has already secured three assists in his five league games, while his total for last season was 10 in 37 league appearances.
