Bournemouth vs Chelsea head to head record

Bournemouth have won three and lost one of their last four Premier League meetings with Chelsea. They’re looking to complete the league double over us for the first time.

We have failed to score in three of our last four games against the Cherries.

Each of the last 12 Premier League goals in Bournemouth vs Chelsea matches have come in the second half.

In the reverse fixture at Stamford Bridge on 14 December, Dan Gosling scored the solitary goal in the 84th minute. It was originally disallowed for offside but overturned by VAR.
