What to Know

Bournemouth will be in front of their home fans on Saturday, but a look at the line shows they might need that home-pitch advantage. They will take on Chelsea at 10:00 a.m. ET on Saturday. Bournemouth should still be feeling good after a big victory while Chelsea will be looking to get back in the win column.

Bournemouth fell on hard times earlier this season, but after back-to-back victories it seems like their luck might finally be changing. They put the hurt on Leeds United with a sharp 4-1 defeat on Sunday. It was an even better day for Jefferson Lerma as he scored two goals for his team.

Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Bournemouth put plenty of pressure on the goal with seven goal attempts. They are a perfect 4-0-0 when they work the goalie so hard.

Meanwhile, Chelsea's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Tuesday after their fourth straight loss. They fell to Arsenal 3-1. That's two games in a row now that Chelsea have lost by two goals.

Bournemouth came up short against Chelsea in their previous matchup last December, falling 2-0. Will Bournemouth have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the match or check back on CBS Sports to find out.
