Did you know?
Chelsea are aiming to win their opening four matches of a Premier League season for the sixth time, having also done so in 2004/05, 2005/06, 2009/10, 2010/11 and 2014/15. They won the title in all but one of those seasons, in 2010/11, when they finished second.
Sarri could become the sixth head coach or manager to win his first four PL matches. Three of the other five did so with Chelsea: Jose Mourinho, Guus Hiddink and Carlo Ancelotti. The others are Pep Guardiola and Craig Shakespeare.
Over the last three seasons, no side have beaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge more often in the PL than AFC Bournemouth. The Cherries have triumphed twice, the same as Crystal Palace, Liverpool and Manchester City.
Since 2015/16, AFC Bournemouth have won nine PL matches from losing positions. Only Liverpool and Spurs have done so more often, with 10 and 12 victories respectively.
