Nemanja Matic and Victor Moses return for Chelsea's trip to Bournemouth.

Nemanja Matic and Victor Moses have returned for Premier League leaders Chelsea's trip to Bournemouth this evening.

Antonio Conte makes two alterations to the starting XI from the 2-1 win over Manchester City on Wednesday evening as the Blues look to restore their seven-point cushion at the top of the table.

Moses, who missed the previous two games with a toe injury, and Matic come into the middle of the park alongside N'Golo Kante and Marcos Alonso in a 3-4-3 formation as Cesc Fabregas drops to the bench.

Kurt Zouma is also named among the substitutes as Conte opts for a back three of Cesar Azpilicueta, David Luiz and Gary Cahill, while Pedro, Diego Costa and Eden Hazard continue their partnership up front.

For the visiting Cherries, Eddie Howe makes one change following the 2-2 draw at Liverpool on Wednesday, with Ryan Fraser returning at the expense of Jordon Ibe.

Joshua King and Benik Afobe continue up front, while Fraser slots into the midfield alongside Marc Pugh, Jack Wilshere and Harry Arter.

Adam Smith, Simon Francis, Charlie Daniels and Steve Cook make up the back four and Artur Boruc keeps his place between the sticks.

Bournemouth: Boruc; Smith, Francis, Cook, Daniels; Fraser, Arter, Wilshere, Pugh; King, Afobe
Subs: Allsop, Cargill, Ibe, Mousett, Gradel, B.Smith, L.Cook

Chelsea: Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill; Moses, Kante, Matic, Alonso; Pedro, Diego Costa, Hazard
Subs: Begovic, Terry, Zouma, Chalobah, Fabregas, Willian, Batshuayi
