Fikayo Tomori returns while Pedro comes in for Ross Barkley as Chelsea get set to take on Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.
Frank Lampard has made two changes to the side that started in the 3-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League, as Chelsea prepare to lock horns with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. And, there are no shuffles in the goalkeeping department, as Willy Caballero starts ahead of Kepa Arrizabalaga once again.
The first change comes in defence, with Fikayo Tomori returning to the side. Tomori starts in the back three, having replaced Antonio Rudiger, with Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta and Andreas Christensen his partners in the backline.

Reece James and Marcos Alonso continue as the wing-backs, while there is no replacing either Mateo Kovacic or Jorginho in midfield, with N’Golo Kante still out injured. Meanwhile, Ruben Loftus-Cheek is an option on the bench for Lampard.
The second and final change comes in attack, with Ross Barkley dropping out of the side. Barkley is replaced by Pedro, who will be one of the two wide men for Chelsea, the other being Mason Mount. Pedro and Mount will provide support to Olivier Giroud, who leads the line for Chelsea against Bournemouth.
Chelsea Starting Lineup: Caballero, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Tomori, James, Kovacic, Jorginho, Alonso, Pedro, Mount, Giroud
