I was lost with the lack of domestic soccer last weekend. However, we made it through the break and we’re back with a full Matchday 5 slate in the Premier League. Here are my top three plays for this weekend’s action. And below I take a closer look at Bournemouth vs. Chelsea.

Bournemouth (+330) vs. Chelsea (-125), DRAW (+370) | 2.5 (-160/+130)
The Blues seem to be in soccer limbo right now as they just cannot find ways to win their PL matches. Most recently, it was a 1-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest. The underwhelming start has Chelsea at 1-1-2, where they reside in 12th on the table. Mauricio Pochettino’s men will make the trip to Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth, where they’ll face the Cherries at 9:00 a.m. ET on Sunday.
While it has been an ugly start for Chelsea, they should have no issue securing a road win here. They’ll take on a Bournemouth side that currently owns the fifth-shortest odds to be relegated this season at +250.
I mean, this is simply a mismatch in talent. Chelsea boasts a payroll of $125 million this campaign while Bournemouth sits at $33 million. The lack of investment in talent has translated to the stat sheet for the Cherries as they’ve managed just four goals while conceding eight. If the Blues can’t get it done here, all hell may break loose in London. I like Chelsea to collect the three points at -125.
Bet: Chelsea Moneyline (-125)
