90+5 mins: RED CARD! STOKE 1 CHELSEA 2:

Stoke City will play the final seconds with ten men after Phil Bardsley was dismissed for a rash challenge on Cesc Fabregas on the touchline. The right-back was already on a yellow card from the first half when he slid in unnecessarily on the Spaniard to receive a second booking.

KICK-OFF: The home side get us underway at Dean Court and immediately are on the offensive. After earlier results, Bournemouth will know this fixture represents a great opportunity to put distance between themselves and the bottom three; a bottom three that Swansea sit just one place outside.

3 mins: Josh King has been responsible for Bournemouth's last five goals in the Premier League, but nobody is quite sure how after the striker's latest effort. Leaning in from the right, the Norwegian took aim with his left foot but slice his shot high, wide and in direction of the corner flag.

6 mins: Eddie Howe's team continue on the front foot and win their first corner of the game after a right wing cross ricochets into the face of Gylfi Sigurdsson to go behind. Please, be careful of his beautiful face.
