Chelsea face Bournemouth in the Premier League after a resounding victory over Morecambe in the FA Cup.
The Blues have faltered as of late winning just one of their last five Premier League games. Losses to Ipswich Town and Fulham, plus draws to Everton and Crystal Palace, resulted in Chelsea dropping to fourth in the table. Needing to find a string of results to fend off the surging Newcastle United and rebounding Manchester City, the latest task isn't going to be any easier.
Bournemouth sit seventh in the table on 33 points, just three behind Chelsea. A win for the Cherries would take them level on points, but Chelsea would maintain the advantage in goal differential barring a lopsided scoreline.
If Enzo Maresca is going to put together a second half of the season resulting in Chelsea returning to the Champions League, a win against Andoni Raiola is the perfect jumping off point.
Here's how Chelsea could look when Bournemouth visit Stamford Bridge on Jan. 14.
