Bournemouth - Chelsea: Tactical Preparation Insights

Andoni Iraola has described Bournemouth's preparations to face Chelsea as very difficult due to the wealth of attacking players in Enzo Maresca's side.

Bournemouth staged a brilliant comeback from two goals down to beat Everton 3-2 in their last match, enhancing their confidence.

With Chelsea having drawn 1-1 against Crystal Palace before the international break, the Premier League clash promises to be an intriguing encounter.

Chelsea's Attack and Bournemouth's Strategy

• Enzo Maresca could hand a debut to Jadon Sancho, loaned from Manchester United.
• Cole Palmer is expected to start post-injury.
• Joao Felix, Pedro Neto, and others are bolstering the offensive lineup.

When asked about the preparations, Iraola stated, “It’s a very difficult game for us, tactically, because they have so many different ways... we have to prepare for a lot of things.”

Chelsea have scored seven goals in their opening three Premier League games, continuing to showcase their attacking capabilities.

Adapting During the Match

Iraola emphasized the need for adaptability, saying, “We’ve had a lot of time to analyse their games... but they have another thing ready, another twist.”

Bournemouth aims to make the most of their preparations as they redefine their game strategy against a formidable Chelsea side.
