Bournemouth are looking for their first win of the 2023/24 Premier League season as they host Chelsea at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday.

Kick-off is at 14:00 BST.

Mauricio Pochettino has made two changes from the side that lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 4.

Ben Chilwell is dropped to the bench, while Moises Caicedo is not in the matchday squad after returning from international duty with Ecuador.

Youngster Lesley Ugochukwu and Mykhailo Mudryk come in.

As for Bournemouth, Andoni Iraola makes three alterations to his starting XI, as Lloyd Kelly, Marcus Tavernier and Dango Ouattara replace Marco Senesi, Justin Kluivert and budget forward Antione Semenyo.

GAMEWEEK 5 LINE-UPS

Bournemouth XI: Neto, Aarons, Zabarnyi, Kelly, Kerkez, Christie, Cook, Ouattara, Billing, Tavernier, Solanke

Subs: Radu, Smith, Senesi, Traore, Rothwell, Brooks, Kluivert, Sinisterra, Semenyo

Chelsea XI: Sanchez, Gusto, Disasi, Thiago Silva, Colwill, Gallagher, Ugochukwu, Sterling, Fernandez, Mudryk, Jackson

Subs: Petrovic, Bergstrom, Maatsen, Gilchrist, Chilwell, Palmer, Stutter, Washington, Matos

Sterling red would be amusing. A lot of his owners have too many points this week.

Honestly, Chelsea are going to lose this. No urgency. Not clinical. Idiotic starting 11.
