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:

[1 September 2018 13:32 · Nathan Jacobs]

KICK OFF: Leicester get the second half underway and will need a minor miracle to peg this Liverpool side back. 

The Foxes have been off the pace and second to most, Liverpool finding a two goal cushion without being forced into top gear.

47 mins: Like his Algerian friend, Mahrez, Ghezzal has shown us a quick glimpse of what he can do. 

Cutting in from the right he sent in a teasing ball which ended up whistling just past the post and for a goal kick.

49 mins: The break appears to be on for Leicester but the chance dies down before Maddison cuts inside onto his right and forces Alisson to be focussed but he catches the shot with not much damage.

50 mins: Corner to Leicester. Definite improvement so far this half. 

[1 September 2018 13:40 · Nathan Jacobs]

52 mins: CHANCE for LEICESTER! 

Maddison bundles his way through under a challenge from Virgil Van Dijk but he stays on his feet and then takes the ball away from Robertson too. 

The gap opens up but his shot is well blocked by Joe Gomez. 

N'didi then tests Alisson with another long ranger but Leicester have certainly upped the ante.

54 mins: Van Dijk fouls Maddison and goes into the book for his troubles. 

Freekick Leicester in a dangerous position. 

[1 September 2018 13:43 · Nathan Jacobs]

56 mins: CHANCE! The ball falls to Wes Morgan just infront of the keeper from the right hand side but he can't sort his feet out and Liverpool clear up the danger. 

[1 September 2018 13:44 · Nathan Jacobs]

58 mins: CHANCE LIVERPOOL! 

The second half finally opens up a chance for the reds and Salah is bearing down on goal and feeds a clever ball back into the box which is just cleared in time. 

[1 September 2018 13:45 · Nathan Jacobs]

60 mins: Kelechi Iheanacho is stripped and ready to come on for Leicester who continue to put Liverpool under considerable pressure. 

[1 September 2018 13:47 · Nathan Jacobs]

Marc Albrighton is the man who is substituted.
