Match Prediction
Chelsea vs. Bournemouth: Broja scored for the Blues. From going nine games unbeaten under Graham Potter to losing four of five in all competitions, the majority of the reasons were injuries plaguing the Chelsea players.
After reaching the Round of 16 of the Champions League, the team was defeated by Brighton and Hove Albion, Arsenal, and Newcastle. In the third round of the Carabao Cup, the team also lost to Manchester City.
Graham Potter is on the Chelsea bench.
Chelsea lost 1-0 to Aston Villa in a mid-season friendly. Despite the fact that Potter used a young starlet in the match and Unai Emery brought his entire squad.
Chelsea players are in a good mood.
Chelsea are eight points behind the top four and two points behind the bottom four. Many have questioned Potter’s future, with many criticizing the Chelsea board for hiring an average manager.
