Cherries Bourne again?
Just like Chelsea, Bournemouth have only won once this season.
But unlike the Blues, they are unbeaten so far under Andoni Iraola.
The Cherries appear to be managing well after losing key duo Dominic Solanke and Neto.
However, new goalie Kepa Arrizbalaga will NOT be playing tonight due to the terms of his loan from Stamford Bridge.
What has Maresca said about Sancho?
“He is a quality player in the last third, an accurate player, and a player who in terms of the last pass or assist is very good. When he has a chance to finish the action, shoot or assist, it is very good.
“He is a similar kind of winger to Noni, who I’ve said since pre-season is working very well with us, creating chances, scoring, and off the ball, like against Palace, is defending. So these kind of things.
“We are excited to give him some chances but also we have players who since the start of the season are doing well – Pedro, Misha in some moments.
“They know that we have so many good players that you have to work hard during the week otherwise a different player will play.”
Team news soon
We are close to finding out tonight’s starting XI.
Fans will be eager to see who starts at right-back, with Reece James and Malo Gusto both out injured.
Cole Palmer will be hoping to have recovered from his hamstring issue after missing England’s first two games under Lee Carsley.
While Jadon Sancho could be in line to make his debut following a deadline day move from Manchester United.
Good ebening
