Chelsea vs Bournemouth prediction, odds and how to watch

Chelsea controlled this Carabao Cup tie from start to finish, with Danny Welbeck's second-half header and a Hakeem Odoffin own goal securing a 2-0 win over a Luton Town side that simply could not compete at this level.

Chelsea dismantled Leeds 6-3 at Stamford Bridge in the Carabao Cup, with Cole Palmer and Danny Welbeck leading a second-half onslaught that turned a tight contest into a thrashing.

James Tarkowski headed Everton level in the 90th minute to cancel out Alex Scott's first-half goal, leaving Bournemouth frustrated after dominating large spells of a hard-fought Premier League draw at the Vitality Stadium.

Chelsea came to the Emirates and won it 2-1, with Martin Ødegaard and Kai Havertz doing the damage against an Arsenal side that competed hard but could not back it up with the basics in front of goal.

Bournemouth took all three points at St. James' Park despite Newcastle United creating the better chances, with two first-half goals proving enough to sink the hosts. Connor Maguire has no sympathy for a Newcastle side that did the hard work and threw it away.

Chelsea have not kept a single clean sheet in their last ten Premier League matches. Bournemouth have not won in their last five. Something has to give at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

Richard Hughes has left Liverpool as sporting director after just 15 months to join Al Hilal, walking out with 21 months still on his contract weeks after sanctioning a £200m summer rebuild. His exit compounds instability at Anfield's decision-making core as FSG faces a second major leadership vacancy in barely a year.
