Chelsea Lineup vs Leeds United OUT; Why Is Moises Caicedo Not Playing?

Chelsea take on Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium for their Premier League clash tonight. Following a shock 3-2 loss to Leeds United in the midweek, the Blues are hoping to return to winning ways here, as they have now gone two games in a row without one. This mini-slump has seen them lose ground to Arsenal in the title race and slip to fourth in the league table with 24 points from 14 games. Another winless affair could see them drop out of the top four with Crystal Palace lurking right below their neck, although Bournemouth's recent struggles should give Chelsea hope, even as they continue to be without Moises Caicedo, who serves the second of his three-game suspension. The Ecuadorian was shown a straight red for a harsh tackle on Mikel Merino during their clash with Arsenal, for which he was initially booked with a yellow before the referee changed it to red following a VAR review.

After going eight games without a loss, Bournemouth have lost four of their last five. The only positive result during this period has been fighting back from a two-goal deficit to drawing 2-2 with West Ham at home. But such a winless run has made their strong start earlier on feel like a distant memory, as Bournemouth have slumped to 14th position in the English Premier League table with only 19 points from 14 games. Andoni Iraola's side will be taking inspiration from their last encounter with Chelsea, which ended 2-2 at Stamford Bridge. On that day, the Cherries fought back an early deficit to go 2-1 in front, but Reece James equalized for the west London side deep in stoppage time.
