Chelsea Manager Maresca Shakes Up Lineup for Year-End Clash with Bournemouth

London, UK – Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has made a bold five changes to his starting eleven as the Blues prepare to face Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge in their final Premier League fixture of 2025. Looking to rebound from a recent defeat to Aston Villa, Maresca is hoping a fresh lineup can secure a victory in front of their home fans.
