Temi: TV Schedules, Chelsea, Bournemouth, English Premier League

Sarri's Chelsea have made a perfect start to the season. Will they be able to keep pace with Liverpool and Spurs at the top of the table as they welcome a solidly-peforming Bournemouth to Stamford Bridge on Saturday at 10:00 EST (15:00 BST)?

So far, so good for Sarri's side. After losing the Community Shield to Manchester City, Chelsea have won their first three games, and will be hoping to make it four wins in four as the Blues take on Bournemouth on Saturday.

The team's perfect start to the season has them joint-tied for first alongside Tottenham and Liverpool, as well as Watford who have surprisingly started off well. Of course, Watford are not expected to keep up the pace for long, but with Liverpool and Spurs among those who are always considered as serious title contenders, Chelsea will want to pick up as many early points as possible from these games in order to keep themselves in contention to unseat Manchester City as the champions of England.

The Blues have been given a very comfortable draw in the Europa League this season, so they have a great shot at going far in the continental competition.

But with the Europa League not to take place for another few weeks, Chelsea need to remain focused on domestic affairs, and Bournemouth have actually been doing quite solidly so far. The visitors are aiming to win three straight away Premier League fixtures for the first time, and more significant, they have won two of their last three Premier League away games against the Blues.
