Chelsea Lineups vs Bournemouth OUT; Premier League, 2025

Matchday 19 of the 2025/26 English Premier League will see Chelsea host Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge, which happens to be the Blues' last home game before the year ends. Chelsea will be hoping to sneak into the top four with a win, while Bournemouth will be hoping to end the year on a high, as they have slumped further down the league standings.

Chelsea, one of the best football clubs right now, sits fifth in the table with 29 points, just three behind Liverpool. They have had a mixed season so far with their fair share of highs and lows. Enzo Maresca's side are looking to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa in their previous game, as their push for a title charge continues.

Bournemouth, on the other hand, have failed to live up to the expectations they set last season, as they now dwell in 15th place in the league, with just 5 wins out of the first 18 games of the current season. They are winless in their last five Premier League matchups and will be hoping to return to winning ways in a difficult atmosphere at Stamford Bridge. They have the worst away defensive record in the league and are looking to tighten things up against one of the highest-scoring teams in the league.

People are intrigued about the Chelsea lineup vs Bournemouth as stars like the Englishman Cole Palmer will be taking the field in a game that proves to be quite important in Chelsea's context of a title charge. Sportsdunia brings you all the details regarding the Chelsea vs Bournemouth lineups, so that you have a fair idea of what to expect from the crop of players who are designated to start the game.

Chelsea vs Bournemouth Lineup CONFIRMED

Have a look at the Chelsea vs Bournemouth lineups. Reece James goes back in his preferred position in the Chelsea lineup vs Bournemouth as Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo make up the double pivot. Malo Gusto starts as a left back quite surprisingly, in this Chelsea lineup vs Bournemouth. Estevao returns to the Chelsea lineup vs Bournemouth, and so does Cole Palmer, with Joao Pedro playing as a centre forward.

AFC Bournemouth are without several players, but those places have been well covered by the other players on whom Andoni Iraola could count. The manager just confirmed that Tyler Adams will be out for two to three months with an MCL injury, which has opened up spaces for the likes of Ryan Christie in the midfield. He will be playing in the double pivot alongside Lewis Cook, despite Alex Scott putting in a good shift in the match against Brentford.

Alex Jimenez, Justin Kluivert, and Antoine Semenyo start in the Chelsea vs Bournemouth lineups as expected, with Evanilson playing as the sole number nine.
