Sancho debut, Felix decision, Gusto replacement - Predicted Chelsea line-up vs Bournemouth
The predicted Chelsea line-up for this evening's Premier League visit to Bournemouth as Enzo Maresca is tasked with numerous difficult selection decisions
Chelsea are back in Premier League action tonight with the Blues travelling down to the Vitality Stadium to take on unbeaten Bournemouth.
The Cherries have started the season well with one win and two draws from their opening three Premier League matches and will be looking to build on that with Chelsea in town this evening. The Blues, meanwhile, are on the search for their second victory of the season in the league, with their only other three points coming away from home at Wolves last month.
The first international break of the season is now over and it is the start of a busy period for Chelsea, where Enzo Maresca will have to use his squad to its full extent. We could see a debut in blue for Jadon Sancho tonight with the 24-year-old signing on loan from Manchester United a few hours after the transfer deadline.
Sancho has trained with some of his new teammates over the past fortnight with the winger not being picked by Lee Carsley for the England squad. Could we see some minutes for Sancho tonight? That, and much more, below with Bobby Vincent predicting the Blues' line-up for down on the south coast...
GK: Robert Sanchez
Filip Jorgensen picked up an injury while on international duty, so if there was ever any doubt Sanchez would start, that is surely gone now.

Malo Gusto is out of the game this evening with a thigh problem. Likewise, Reece James has not recovered in time from his hamstring injury, so it looks like Disasi will be given the nod at right-back; just like Chelsea's two European games early on this season.

Fofana has started this season very well - and even more impressive when you put it into context. After over a year of not playing football, Fofana has been reintegrated fairly seamlessly it seems.

Likewise, Colwill has been excellent in the first three matches of the Premier League season. Colwill and Fofana could well form a valuable partnership at the heart of the Chelsea defence if continued to be given the opportunity.

Cucurella continues to be Maresca's go-to player at left-back. Renato Veiga has been impressive in his first few games as a Chelsea player but the Spaniard has been in good form since the end of last season for the Blues.
