Chelsea Vs Bournemouth 2 - 0 (Live!)

Antonio Conte must decide whether Michy Batshuayi is ready to start his first Premier League game in place of the suspended Diego Costa, with Cesc Fbregas drafted into midfield, or if he must juggle his attacking resources to secure a club record 12th successive victory. The Italian will be aware that Eddie Howe's Bournemouth won in south-west London last season, albeit while Jos Mourinho's tenure was unravelling, and they will be awkward opponents. This will provide a test of sorts of the depth of Chelsea's squad ahead of the transfer window.
