Is Bournemouth vs Chelsea on TV? Channel and how to watch Premier League fixture

Must read

Chelsea FC travel to AFC Bournemouth as they look to climb the Premier League table following a period of mixed form at the start of the season.

Under Enzo Maresca, Chelsea have at times shown flashes of brilliance, but in a similar story to last season have been inconsistent.

Manchester City comfortably beat the Blues in the opening match, and since then they put six past Wolves in a 6-2 win, but then were held to a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.

That is despite spending big in the summer transfer window and having one of the largest squad roster compared to all other Premier League clubs.

Bournemouth on the other hand are still unbeaten in the season, kicking off their campaign with two draws and a win.

Here’s everything you need to know about the match.
