Good evening!
It is the final game of 2025 for both Chelsea and Bournemouth as the pair meet at Stamford Bridge tonight, live on Sky Sports.
These two are facing each other for the second time in the league this month after their goalless draw on the south coast 24 days ago.
But Chelsea can ill-afford another draw, having won just one of their previous six league matches.
The Blues will be looking to immediately bounce back from Saturday's 2-1 home loss to Aston Villa with a win tonight that would move them into the top four heading into the New Year.
Bournemouth, though, are bang out of form with the Cherries on a nine-game winless run.
And if that extends tonight, then things could be looking even bleaker for 2026, with star man Antoine Semenyo set to join Manchester City next month.
Can Semenyo deliver a match-winning display in what is expected to be his last game for Bournemouth? Or will Chelsea get back to winning ways to move fourth?
We'll have the team news at 6.15pm followed by live updates and in-game clips from the 7.30pm kick-off, which is live on Sky Sports Main Event. Stay tuned...

Will Cucurella recover in time?
Chelsea are checking on the fitness of Marc Cucurella after he was forced off against Aston Villa with a hamstring complaint.
Reece James and Cole Palmer's workloads are being managed and Chelsea will wait to see how they recover ahead of Tuesday's game against Bournemouth.
Enzo Maresca says Tuesday's match likely comes too soon for Jorrel Hato but Wesley Fofana is in contention to start after being left on the bench against Villa.
Chelsea were boosted by the return of Liam Delap, Estevao Willian and Jamie Gittens over the weekend.
Levi Colwill, Dario Essugo and Romeo Lavia remain sidelined.
Maresca looking for answers after surrendering leads
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca admits he is at a loss to explain why his team continues to throw away leads in the Premier League.
Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at home to Aston Villa was the third time this season the Blues have lost at Stamford Bridge having been in front.
In total, they have lost 11 points from winning positions on their own pitch this season and that is the difference between Maresca’s side in fifth and second-placed Manchester City.
“It’s just a matter of understanding the reason why,” said Maresca, whose team host struggling Bournemouth on Tuesday, live on Sky Sports. “When something continues to happen, it’s not random.
“We need to understand why. No matter if we’re winning, drawing or losing, when we concede a goal we lose a little bit of control.
“We need to understand how to manage better when we concede goals."
