Compared to last season, Chelsea's performance is much better this season. We saw this team in second place in the table a few days ago. However, although Chelsea's performance has been stable since the beginning of the season, we have not seen a good performance from Chelsea's players in the last 4 matches. Chelsea have lost points in the last four matches. And none of the teams against which Chelsea have lost points were strong teams.
I know that Bournemouth is not a strong team. However, Bournemouth's performance in the last few matches has surprised us all. I don't remember the last time I saw this team lose. Bournemouth's players have continued to perform quite consistently. So it is not going to be easy for Chelsea to get 3 points in this match, that is for sure.
You raised a good point here, no doubt Chelsea experienced an improvement in their performance this season compared to 2 seasons back but the fact remains that there are noticeable lapses in the team currently, losing 2 matches that would've been an advantage to them isn't a good one, they teams they lost to are struggling, Chelsea losing to those teams made them to drop point and position respectively which was not supposed to be so if Chelsea were to be more serious about those matches, I remember when Manchester City was in a very good form, they have a pattern that helps them scale through, they make sure they win those weaker teams with high scores, they don't joke with it, though different manager with different orientation to their players, in Chelsea last 4 matches in the English premiership they lost 2 matches and draw 2 which is a very bad result for a team thats is competing for a seeious title like that.
Yea I agree with you, Chelsea is not going find things easy in that match, Bournemouth wouldn't want to be a pushover so Chelsea should be prepared for the war ahead although anything can happen since is football we are talking about but Chelsea current performance has put everyone in doubt of the possible outcome of that match.
