Team News: Eden Hazard returns for Chelsea

Eden Hazard returns to the Chelsea lineup for their trip to Bournemouth this afternoon.

Eden Hazard returns to the Chelsea lineup for their trip to Bournemouth this afternoon after five games out injured.

Hazard's inclusion at the expense of the benched Ruben Loftus-Cheek is one of three changes by Guus Hiddink from their 3-0 loss to Manchester City.

Asmir Begovic starts between the sticks owing to Thibaut Courtois being sent off against the Citizens, while Gary Cahill loses his place to Nemanja Matic in midfield.

Eddie Howe makes two changes for the hosts, meanwhile, as Max Gradel and Matt Ritchie make way for Mark Pugh and Lewis Grabban, who joins last week's goalscorer Joshua King in attack after coming on for Junior Stanislas against Liverpool.

Bournemouth: Boruc, Francis, Cook, Elphick, Daniels, Stanislas, Gosling, Surman, Pugh, Grabban, King
Subs: Federici, Wiggins, MacDonald, O'Kane, Ritchie, Wilson, Afobe

Chelsea: Begovic; Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Mikel, Baba; Matic, Fabregas; Pedro, Willian, Hazard; Costa
Subs: Amelia, Miazga, Loftus-Cheek, Kenedy, Traore, Pato, Falcao
