Confirmed Officials: AFC Bournemouth vs Chelsea | Premier League

The officials have been confirmed for Chelsea’s Premier League clash against AFC Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Mauricio Pochettino is hoping Chelsea can begin the post-international break with a win as they head down to the south coast to face Bournemouth.

Chelsea suffered a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest in their last league outing and currently sit 14th in the Premier League – claiming just four points from as many games to begin the season.

“I think it’s only a matter of time,” insisted Pochettino in his pre-match press conference on performances turning into results.

“We have very good players and a good squad. The circumstances are the circumstances. We are in a situation that we need to accept. We need to focus to try and get the results. For sure we are going to perform (better).”

Bournemouth are yet to win this season. They have claimed just two points from their first four games. Chelsea will be keen to make it back-to-back wins against the Cherries after a 3-1 win back in May.

Now the officials for the league meeting have been revealed by the Premier League ahead of the encounter.
