Bournemouth come into this match following a 1-0 away loss at Wolverhampton. Bournemouth remain in 18th and are tied with 17th place West Ham on points but behind on goal differential. Callum Wilson will miss this match due to suspension while fellow forward Joshua King sat out their previous match but may return from injury here. Philip Billing and Simon Francis are also listed as doubtful for the visitors here.
Newcastle drew 1-1 to Aston Villa in the previous game week. Newcastle sit in 14th and could jump up to 12th with a win here. Matt Ritchie is listed as doubtful and Ciaran Clark, Jack Colback and Jetro Willems have all been ruled out.
Bournemouth have struggled at home where they have the 4th worst record in the Premier League and are scoring the 4th fewest goals while allowing the 5th most against at home. Newcastle have struggled away where they have just the 14th best record and are scoring the 5th fewest goals while allowing the 3rd most against. Newcastle’s previous visits to the Vitality Stadium have been closely matched affairs with two draws and a win for the visitors in the previous three meetings. Bournemouth has yet to score since the restart, but has had a longer break between matches with Newcastle playing in FA Cup action over the weekend. Bournemouth are winless in their previous six matches and will feel the pressure to get a result here. Bournemouth would normally have the slight edge here but with their star striker sitting out, this match looks likely to end in a draw.

Norwich have been poor away this season and have the leagues worst record. Norwich are scoring the fewest goals while allowing the 6th most away. This has been a fruitful matchup for the hosts with Arsenal winning five and drawing one in Norwich’s previous six visit to the Emirates.

Leicester have the slight edge in their recent visits to Goodison Park, with the Foxes winning three and drawing one of the previous six meetings.

Chelsea come into this game following a 2-1 home win over Manchester City. Chelsea remain in 3rd but now sit just one point back of 3rd place Leicester. Fikayo Tomori remains out for the visitors, while Andreas Christensen and Callum Hudson-Odoi are in doubt here.
West Ham have struggled mightily at home and have the 3rd worst record in the league. The Hammers have played respectable offense, scoring the 8th most goals at home, but defensively they have been porous, allowing the 3rd most goals against. Chelsea have been excellent away and have the league’s 3rd best away record. The Blues are scoring the 2nd most goals but allowing the 10th fewest against. West Ham have had the advantage when hosting Chelsea, with the home side taking three wins and a draw from the previous six matches. This is generally a close hard fought affair with neither side winning by more than a single goal in the previous six meetings and a combined 28 yellows shown across that span. Chelsea have been playing well of late, are the better side here and should be expected to win here but it wont come easy.
