Frank Lampard will demand a positive reaction from Chelsea after being punished by Bayern Munich at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday. A trip to Bournemouth may be the perfect opportunity to do exactly that as Chelsea have more points on the road than at home this season. Olivier Giroud will continue to lead the line while Tammy Abraham’s rehab continues. Eddie Howe watched his side demolish Chelsea in this fixture last season but would surely settle for a point as their relegation rivals are either out of action or facing tough opposition.
