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:

Prediction

[1 September 2018 12:57 · Nathan Jacobs]

26 mins: Gray takes another pot shot, this time from about 30 yards out but it sails over the bar. 

Liverpool forced to think a tad more. 

[1 September 2018 13:02 · Nathan Jacobs]

31 mins: Leicester continue to probe but the majority of shots are from long range and aren't troubling the back line or the keeper. 

[1 September 2018 13:08 · Nathan Jacobs]

36 mins: Little else happening here. Sorry to say. 

[1 September 2018 13:08 · Nathan Jacobs]

Doesn't look impressed, does he? 

[1 September 2018 13:13 · Nathan Jacobs]

CHANCE! Salah tests Kasper Schmeichel, curling his left footed attempt from the edge of the box to the bottom right. 

Corner Liverpool. 

[1 September 2018 13:14 · Nathan Jacobs]

It's eerily quiet at King Power.

[1 September 2018 13:16 · Nathan Jacobs]

GOAL! (Firmino, 44) Leicester 0-2 Liverpool 

And can you blame the crowd? They've been the second best side and Liverpool double their lead just before the break.

A corner is whipped in and Firmino beats Maddison to the ball and heads unmarked into the Leicester net. 

[1 September 2018 13:17 · Nathan Jacobs]

HALF TIME: Leicester 0-2 Liverpool 

The Reds are in cruise control and take in a two goal advantage into the second half. 

They're still yet to concede in the Premier League this season and are just going from strength to strength. 

[1 September 2018 13:21 · Nathan Jacobs]

 Boring Boring Milner... 

[1 September 2018 13:25 · Nathan Jacobs]

 I shouldn't type anything, should I? 

Of course Firmino scores!
