Predicted Chelsea XI vs Bournemouth: Disasi starts in 4-2-3-1 formation
Moises Caicedo, Midfielder
Moises Caicedo has had a decent start to the 2024-25 season. He has made a few mistakes on the ball, but his defensive work rate has been tremendous for the Blues. His ability to break a play-up has helped Chelsea get into some good positions.
The Ecuadorian scored a stellar goal against Bournemouth on the last day of the 2023-24 season. He will be looking to get on the score sheet again and help the Blues add three points at the Vitality.
Cole Palmer, Midfielder
When fit, Cole Palmer is an obvious name in the Chelsea lineup. His ability to score goals and link up with teammates makes him a vital cog for them. Since joining the club last season, the 22-year-old has gone from strength to strength. Having won a lot of individual honours for his exploits, Palmer will be looking to continue his good work and help the club get more success.
Noni Madueke, Right-Winger
Noni Madueke won a place in the starting lineup after his brilliance for the Blues in the preseason. He has since put on some great performances, including a hattrick against Wolves on the second matchday.
He had a great outing with England and he will be looking to carry that on by putting on a show against Bournemouth.
