Chelsea v Bournemouth Team News

Following the surprising 1-2 defeat at Wolves where The Blues went in front after 18 minutes, Maurizio Sarri's side has responded well by getting two successive league wins against Man City and Brighton, while also playing a score draw with MOL Vidi in the last group fixture of Europa League after they had already secured a place in the last 16 as Group L winners.

So Blues must feel pretty inspired approaching this midweek cup clash, keeping in the back of their minds the fact they faced a Bournemouth side at this stage last year and beat them 2-1 to win progress to the semi-finals, where they got eliminated by Arsenal with an aggregate score of 2-1, having left the competition at the last 16 the previous year.

Bournemouth can hardly be just as motivated with their current state of affairs: six defeats out of last seven games. However, it will have been justified by the fact four of those losses have come from top teams which might have laid the foundation for the other two failures. It was Manchester United who set the Cherries on a run of misfortune - they'd had a six-match unbeaten streak with five wins (W5, D1) - and now Eddie Howe's men have another big task at hand: beat a team that not only plays at home but has clearly shined under new boss Sarri.

Add that Bournemouth will be without a number of key figures, such as captain Simon Francis, Steve Cook, Adam Smith - all defenders - and Dan Gosling, while Chelsea will only miss the presence of injured Alvaro Morata, it should come as no surprise to see the home side get through to face either Middlesbrough or Burton.
