Chelsea v Bournemouth in the Premier League Round of 17 is scheduled for Tuesday 27 December at 7.30pm at Stamford Bridge, live on Digi Sport 1 and Prima Sport 1.

Round 17 of the Premier League, which kicked off on Boxing Day, continues today with one of the most exciting matches of the season, pitting two teams in a run of results.

Chelsea are having a terrible season, sitting in just 8th place before this stage, with 21 points from 14 games, following a black streak of three consecutive league defeats, 1-4 at Brighton (d), 0-1 with Arsenal (a) and 0-1 with Newcastle United (d).

Moreover, the team now coached by Graham Potter, brought in from Brighton to replace Thomas Tuchel, were knocked out of the EFL Cup before the championship was interrupted for the World Cup in Qatar, 0-2 to Manchester City (d).

The Londoners, who are patronized by the American billionaire Todd Boley, managed to do better only in the UEFA Champions League, where they finished first in the group with AC Milan, RB Salzburg and Dynamo Zagreb, and then played in the 1/8 finals with Borussia Dortmund “.

Bournemouth, who finished the previous season in second place in the Championship and thus earned direct promotion, were in 14th place before this stage with 16 points from 15 games, and before the competitive break they won against Everton, goal 3 -0 (a), after a streak of four consecutive defeats.

The Cherries were knocked out of the EFL Cup a few days ago, losing 0-1 to Newcastle United (d).

The group at the Vitality Stadium has been given new management by Las Vegas billionaire Bill Foley in a deal that has seen more than half of Premier League clubs now have American shareholders, either minority or majority.

Bournemouth suffered a string of Premier League setbacks, including an incredible 0-9 against Liverpool at Anfield (a game which saw Scott Parker replaced on the bench by Gary O’Neill), and managed just one success in leaving this season, 3-2 with fellow Nottingham Forest, just promoted.

The last head-to-head meeting between the two sides came in the second leg of the 2019-2020 season, when Bournemouth, who were due for relegation at the end of the season, drew 2-2 at home to Chelsea.
