Bournemouth vs. Chelsea (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Both flattering to deceive under new management so far, Bournemouth and Chelsea aim to right some recent wrongs when they lock horns in Sunday's Premier League battle at the Vitality Stadium.
Andoni Iraola's men went into the international break on the back of a 2-2 draw with Brentford, while their capital counterparts' misfortune continued in a 1-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest.
We say: Bournemouth 1-2 Chelsea
The Vitality Stadium has not always been a happy hunting ground for Chelsea, who were memorably thumped 4-0 by Bournemouth back in 2019, but the Cherries' lingering defensive concerns means that a repeat of that humiliation is surely beyond the realm of possibility.
Iraola's charges can still feel confident of breaching a Chelsea backline which is also far from watertight, but with the in-form Raheem Sterling in particular seeking to lay down a marker after his latest England snub, the Blues should make a return to winning ways, whether it is pretty or not.

Everton vs. Arsenal (Sunday, 4.30pm)

The dreaded trip to Goodison Park comes early for Arsenal this season, as the Gunners aim to rectify their recent Merseyside mistakes when they take on Everton in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Prior to the international hiatus, the Toffees claimed their first point of the season in a 2-2 draw with Sheffield United, while Mikel Arteta's side secured a breathtaking 3-1 win over Manchester United.
We say: Everton 0-2 Arsenal
Whatever it is about Goodison Park, Arsenal appear cursed when they step out onto the turf, but Everton's ongoing injury and attacking woes makes it difficult to envisage another Merseyside beating for the men in red.
It would be easy for the Gunners to get distracted by the prospect of their first Champions League game in over six years next week, but Arteta's men looked more like their old selves against Man United and should finally pick up their first win away to Everton in the post-Wenger era.
