Chelsea vs Bournemouth as it happened: Eden Hazard and Pedro score as Maurizio Sarri's continues unbeaten start

Relive all the action from Stamford Bridge as Chelsea beat Bournemouth

Chelsea Manager Maurizio Sarri says he's really happy with Ruben Loftus Cheek ahead of their Premier League clash against Bournemouth

Life at Stamford Bridge has started very promisingly for Maurizio Sarri, who has guided Chelsea to three wins in their opening Premier League matches.

Chelsea, however, will not be taking Bournemouth lightly, having lost to them twice at home in their last three league meetings in west London.

Eddie Howe could hand Jefferson Lerma his Premier League debut and will welcome back Adam Smith, who returns from suspension, as they look to maintain their unbeaten start.

We'll have all the latest from Stamford Bridge and around the Premier League:

KICK OFF: And we're off! 

Liverpool get us underway and Leicester quickly reclaim possession. 

[1 September 2018 12:34 · Nathan Jacobs]

CHANCE! Firmino and Salah miss gilt-edged chances to give Liverpool the lead. 

The Brazilian sees himself on goal and he forces Kasper Schmeichel to make a low save but the ball rebounds at the feet of Mohamed Salah who somehow sees his shot go wide. 

Great chance. 

[1 September 2018 12:38 · Nathan Jacobs]

Salah and Firmino linking up wonderfully so far and we've only had 5 minutes. 

Leicester do look a threat on the counter-attack, though. 

[1 September 2018 12:39 · Nathan Jacobs]

8 mins: Gareth Southgate is in attendance today, casting an eye over plenty of English talent on show this afternoon. 

I'm sure he'll be somewhere this afternoon, too. 

[1 September 2018 12:41 · Nathan Jacobs]

9 mins: GOAL! (Mane, 9) 

He might not be English but I'm sure Southgate will be wishing that he is - Robertson that is. 

It is his magic down the left, once again, that sets up the goal. He blasted his way through the Leicester defence and pulled the ball across the box where Mane hovered unmarked and he casually prodded it beyond the Dane. 

Liverpool look good. 

[1 September 2018 12:48 · Nathan Jacobs]

14 mins: Liverpool pressing very well so far and seem very comfortable against Leicester's attacking threat. 

Vardy, at the moment, appears quite a big miss. 

[1 September 2018 12:49 · Nathan Jacobs]

18 mins: It's keep ball for Liverpool here spraying it left and right with ease. 

The crowd has quietened and it's cruise control stuff for Klopp's boys. 

[1 September 2018 12:53 · Nathan Jacobs]

21 mins: Firmino is linking up with his fellow Liverpool attackers wonderfully. He still probably doesn't score enough but he leads the line so well for them. 

[1 September 2018 12:54 · Nathan Jacobs]

23 mins: CHANCE! Finally Leicester pose a small threat for Liverpool, pressurising the defenders into an error and the ball is slipped through to Gray who takes his shit early. 

He stings the palms of Alisson but the Brazilian stopped is match for it with a good save. 

[1 September 2018 12:54 · Nathan Jacobs]

24 mins: Corner for Leicester. Bit of pressure being applied finally.
