Xabi Alonso's HUGE Injury Boost! Chelsea vs Bournemouth Predicted XI
Proper football is back! Chelsea host Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge and, after a long international break, Xabi Alonso has delivered a surprise injury boost with Caicedo, João Pedro, Reece James and Cole Palmer all declared fit. In this preview I run through the team news, break down Marco Rose’s Bournemouth (the first side ever to lead in each of their first four Premier League games and not win any of them) and look at what Alonso has to fix after the Brentford defeat. Then it’s my predicted XI, including the big call: Jordan Henderson alongside Caicedo instead of Reece James. Who would you start?
