Chelsea's recent form

Frank Lampard’s side have won four of our last five Premier League games at Stamford Bridge.

We are hoping to halt a run of three defeats in our last four Premier League games.

Only Manchester City (337) have had more shots than Chelsea in the Premier League this season (274). The Blues’ average of 17.1 shots per game is our highest in a single campaign since 2013/14 (18.2).

Chelsea haven’t drawn any of our last 12 Premier League games since the 2-2 draw with Sheffield United in August – the second-longest such run behind Leicester (14).

Frank Lampard has never faced Bournemouth as a Chelsea player or coach.
