Alex Scott has earned a consistent starting spot in Bournemouth’s midfield alongside Tyler Adams, which has put him on the radar for England. He’s started 13 of Bournemouth’s 14 matches in the Premier League this season, having 14 shots across these games (1.39 per 90).

Scott has had a shot in three of his last five Premier League appearances, and I think Bournemouth could get quite a lot of joy in midfield here with Moises Caicedo still suspended for this game after his straight red card against Arsenal last week. 

This is a massive blow for Chelsea as they struggle for legs in the middle of the park with Caicedo - which is exactly where Bournemouth excel. Despite recent poor form for Bournemouth, they’ve still managed to maintain decent shot numbers with 10+ shots in 11 of their 14 Premier League matches.

Bournemouth had 19 shots in this fixture last season, showing how they can cause the Blues real problems - Scott didn’t start in that game but all three of Bournemouth’s midfielders (Cook, Christie and Kluivert) had at least one shot.

Scott is often allowed to go forward with Tyler Adams offering a secure presence in the middle of the park. Scott also started out as an attacking midfielder, so he naturally has quite a forward thinking mindset.

There is decent value with this selection when backing with Bet365, the same angle is priced as low as 1.2 with other major bookmakers.
