Chelsea will desperately attempt to kick-start their season when they return to Premier League action after the World Cup against Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge.
Graham Potter's side ended the first half of the season with a whimper against Newcastle, unable to arrest their losing streak at St James' Park. The Blues have not won a game in the league since October 16 and lost four games in a row in all competitions before the World Cup break.

Chelsea squad & team news
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Kepa, Mendy, Bettinelli |
| Defenders | T. Silva, Chalobah, Chilwell, James, Koulibaly, Azpilicueta, Cucurella, Fofana, Brooking, Gilchrist, Humphreys |
| Midfielders | Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic, Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Mount, Zakaria, Ziyech, Gallagher, Havertz, Hall |
| Forwards | Aubameyang, Sterling, Broja, Burstow, Mothersille |
Wesley Fofana has been ruled out after suffering a knock in Chelsea's mid-week friendly against Aston Villa and the defender will be sidelined for another few weeks at least. However, there has been a positive update on Reece James, who has returned to training and could potentially feature.
While the majority of the Blues' World Cup players are back and in contention, Hakim Ziyech and Mateo Kovacic are not expected to be available after reaching the third-place play-off stage with their respective national teams. Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Ben Chilwell remain unavailable, while N'Golo Kante and Armando Broja are long-term absentees.
Possible Chelsea starting lineup: Mendy; Cucurella, Koulibaly, Chalobah; Azpilicueta, Zakaria, Jorginho, Hall; Mount, Pulisic, Aubameyang.
Bournemouth squad & team news
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Travers, Neto, Dennis |
| Defenders | Fredericks, Stephens, Kelly, Mepham, Smith, Stacey, Hill, Senesi, Zemura |
| Midfielders | Cook, Brooks, Lerma, Christie, Marcondes, Rothwell, Tavernier, Stanislas, Pearson, Billing |
| Forwards | Solanke, Lowe, Dembele, Moore, Anthony |
Like Chelsea, Bournemouth have their share of injury concerns, but coach Gary O'Neil is optimistic after his players came through the Carabao Cup defeat to Newcastle unscathed.
Marcus Tavernier and Jefferson Lerma have made strides in their recovery, with both potentially being available for selection. Team captain Lloyd Kelly has returned to training and could be in contention, but O'Neil is not prepared to risk the defender if he is not fully ready to play.
The Cherries are not hindered by suspensions, so there are few availability issues.
Possible Bournemouth starting lineup: Travers; Smith, Stephens, Senesi, Zemura; Tavernier, Cook, Lerma, Billing; Solanke, Moore.
