Welcome to our LIVE coverage of Chelsea's Premier League clash against Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge.

Arter has a pop from distance but he drags his shot wide of the far post.

Surman joins Pedro in the book, bringing the Spaniard down as he looked to spring forward from midfield.

Pedro has halted two Bournemouth breaks with cynical sliding challenges and he can have few complaints that he's the first Chelsea player to go into the ref's book.

Baba whips a lovely cross in, but there's nobody there to get on the end of it at the back post. Willian collects it out on the left and Chelsea build another attack. The pressure is pretty relentless, but Bournemouth are defending well and waiting to spring on the break.

The magic spray does the trick for Cahill, who looked like he was going to have to come off.

Courtois to the rescue. This time it's King who gets the shot away, drilled in at the near post, but the keeper gets a strong hand to it and palms the ball behind for a corner.

Bournemouth look pretty handy on the counter-attack. It's just keeping Chelsea out at the other end that's going to be the problem. The hosts are looking very dangerous in possession.

Bournemouth break in numbers and Courtois makes a top save to deny Stanislas. The rebound falls to King, but he dallies and his shot (when it eventually comes) is easily blocked.

Bournemouth fans are chanting "we've got the special one" and who can blame them for being proud of Eddie Howe.

Smith's pressure on Hazard helps him steal possession in the Chelsea half and burst into the box, his cross is half cleared and Stanislas' shot on the follow-up is blocked.

Willian whips a wonderful cross into the box, but nobody gambles on getting across the keeper and Boruc is able to claim.

The visitors throw bodies forward in the first attack of the game, but Ivanovic shepherds the ball out for a goal-kick and the game reverts to its already familiar pattern of Chelsea pressure.

Chelsea have started with a bang. They are finding lots of space out on the flanks and Bournemouth have barely seen the ball so far.

Hazard stings the palms of Boruc with a shot from an angle and the rebound fortunately falls to a defender rather than one of the many waiting Chelsea players in the box.

Oscar slides a pass through to Hazard but the Bournemouth defence gets back to shut down the space and Chelsea are forced to build from the back again.

Chelsea get the game underway. Both teams are kitted out in their usual home kits.

Can Eden Hazard turn it around today? Mourinho sent him a message this week telling him he's playing well despite the drought: "Because he was so impressive I felt he needed that and he also needed to know his efforts were recognised by me. With that attitude and that dynamic defensively he can play in every position: 9, 10, 7, 11, no problem."
