Chelsea will be without Diego Costa and N'Golo Kante for their Boxing Day clash with Bournemouth after both picked up his fifth yellow card of the season.
The Spanish international was booked for dissent by referee Jon Moss in the 22nd minute of the Blues' 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, while their midfield dynamo was cautioned in the second half.
Costa has been in formidable form for Chelsea this season and had scored 12 Premier League goals in 16 appearances before Saturday afternoon
And the forward displayed his importance again for Antonio Conte's side as he put the visitors ahead with his 50th goal for the Blues in all competitions just before the break at against Palace.
His looping header brought his league tally for the season to 13, one more than he managed in the entirety of the previous season.
