If Howe reverts to 4-4-2, players such as Jordon Ibe (£5.2m) and Lys Mousset (£5.0m) could push for a start on the wing. Alternatively, Adam Smith (£4.5m) could be used on the right-hand side of midfield with Simon Francis (£4.4m) at right-back. Diego Rico (£4.5m) is set to earn a second start at left-back/left-wing back.

In Fraser’s likely absence, Howe may retain the 3-4-3 used at Chelsea with David Brooks (£5.0m) coming in as a straight swap. Jefferson Lerma (£4.5m) will face competition from Andrew Surman (£4.9m) and Lewis Cook (£4.9m) in central midfield.

Ryan Fraser (£5.6m), who has not trained since returning from international duty, and Charlie Daniels (£4.5m) are considered ‘major doubts’ for Bournemouth. Junior Stanislas (£6.0m) is not fit for first-team duties yet. Eddie Howe said : “Ryan Fraser had a hamstring problem so has been working with our medical team since he returned here. Joshua King (£6.4m) played two games for Norway but came through no problem. Charlie Daniels picked up a niggle and we’ve not seen him during the international break. Junior is still working his way back to fitness, he won’t be ready for this weekend.”

Ahead of Monday’s trip to Southampton, Brighton boss Chris Hughton has no injury issues . The Seagulls have one of the most settled line-ups in the league.

Dwight McNeil (£4.5m) started the defeat to Man United in GW4 but could lose out to Gudmundsson. Ward will rival Charlie Taylor (£4.4m) for the left-back spot, while Matt Lowton (£4.9m) may return in place of Phil Bardsley (£4.4m). After three losses in a row, it would be no surprise to see Dyche continue to tinker with his XI in search of a first league win of the season.

Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.5m) and Stephen Ward (£4.9m), who returned early from Ireland duty, have both been declared fit by Sean Dyche . Ben Gibson (£4.9m) is out with a groin problem, while Steven Defour (£5.4m) and Robbie Brady (£5.4m) are at different stages of rehabilitation.

Neil Warnock has previously suggested his team are not good enough to park the bus. The Bluebirds boss said on Friday: “Sometimes you can say you’re gonna go for it, but you’ve got 10 men behind the ball. The top sides always have a lot of possession so we’re gonna be under the cosh for a long time, but we’ve got to find a remedy. We’ve been working on how to score goals. But it’s not going to be Chelsea or Man City that define our season. But I don’t want to go there and not have a shot on target.”

Warnock could possibly revert to a more solid 4-3-3 at Stamford Bridge, though a two-man strikeforce looks set to be his preferred formation. The manager added: “The best strike force is Danny Ward (£4.5m) and Bobby Reid (£5.4m) at the moment. They’ve been improving in training and they’re relishing it. They’ve both stepped up and with Danny it’s been like having a new player with the amount of time he’s been injured. Everything’s changing for him. Who would have thought 18 months ago at Rotherham that we’d be scoring and managing against Arsenal. And now we’ve got Bobby in the right position, it’s great for him.”

If Warnock moves away from 4-4-2 the same personnel could be retained, with Reid pushed out to an attacking midfield role and Victor Camarasa (£4.5m) operating more centrally. Kenneth Zohore (£4.9m) offers another option in attack, while the manager must make a decision on Josh Murphy (£4.9m). The winger was not part of the GW4 squad due to a minor knock. Aron Gunnarsson (£4.4m) is unlikely to feature.
