Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas believes Chelsea will beat Bournemouth 3-1 at Stamford Bridge. The expert has explained his decision.
"This scoreline is going to be unpredictable to work out. This is where Jeff Stelling will be sitting smug for his £250,000. Bournemouth don't score goals now - they are better defensively but are not getting the points. Chelsea got through to the knockout stages of the Champions League so they will be full of confidence." Nicholas wrote
He added: "Willian has been different class as much as the youngsters have excelled. I do see a comfortable Chelsea win. I don't know how Bournemouth will park up in this one. They used to come and play but I don't think they will do that, so this is a hard one to call."
