PREDICTION

In his debut season in the Premier League, AFC Bournemouth coach Andoni Iraola was nominated for Manager of the Season despite Cherries enduring a really poor start. This time around, they began with back-to-back 1-1 draws against Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United before coming from 2-0 down in the 87^th minute to defeat Everton at Goodison Park. Chelsea have been entertaining but inconsistent to watch in the opening month of the campaign with the Blues winning two of their opening five matches across all competitions. This has the potential to be an entertaining encounter in which both teams scoring would appear a good bet.
