Chelsea will return to Premier League action after the international break when they host Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, October 10. The Blues will be eager to get their campaign back on track after suffering a 3-0 defeat against Brentford in their previous league match.
Xabi Alonso's side started the season with back-to-back victories against Fulham and Brighton, but their momentum has since slowed.
A defeat to Arsenal was followed by a 2-2 draw against Hull City before Chelsea were beaten by Brentford. They will now look to use home advantage to return to winning ways.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, will travel to London looking to end their winless run in the Premier League. Marco Rose's side have drawn three of their opening five league matches and lost their other two, which include a 1-0 defeat against Liverpool before the international break.
Despite their struggles for victories, the Cherries have shown that they can be difficult to beat. Chelsea will need to be more clinical in front of goal if they want to secure all three points.
