After opening the season with a draw against Liverpool and a loss to West Ham, Chelsea's time under Mauricio Pochettino looked to be turning around as they beat Luton Town in the Premier League and scraped past AFC Wimbledon in the EFL Cup. However, they went into the international break on the back of a shock 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest. As for Bournemouth, they got their first win under Andoni Iraola in the EFL Cup when they knocked out Swansea City, but they're still waiting for their first league victory under him.
