Frank Lampard has made five changes to the Chelsea team that lost 3-1 against Arsenal for this afternoon’s clash against Bournemouth.

Chelsea are seeking to avoid a seventh straight loss and win for the first time since early March on the south coast as Lampard makes an array of changes.

Lampard is aiming for a first win in his second spell as manager at Stamford Bridge and believes Benoit Badiashile, Trevoh Chalobah, Mykhailo Mudryk, Conor Gallagher and Kai Havertz are the men to make a difference.

Cesar Azpilicueta, Wesley Fofana, Mateo Kovacic, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Raheem Sterling drop to the bench for the visitors.

Bournemouth manager Gary O’Neil has named the same team that beat Leeds 4-1 last weekend, searching for a third consecutive league victory.
