Chelsea welcome Bournemouth to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night, seeking to end a four-game Premier League winless run. Enzo Maresca is expected to revert to his regular lineup after making 10 changes for the FA Cup thrashing of Morecambe. Reece James and Romeo Lavia, both back from hamstring injuries, are available but will have their minutes managed, while Noni Madueke is fully fit after illness. With Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Omari Kellyman sidelined, Maresca may offer another start to youngster Josh Acheampong at center-back.
