Premier League: Chelsea v Bournemouth build-up - James returns for hosts

This is Bournemouth's first league game since being taken over by American businessman Bill Foley a couple of weeks ago.

Previous owner Maxim Demin has sold his 100% stake in the Cherries to Foley's Black Knight Football Club.

Foley, the owner of NHL ice hockey franchise the Vegas Golden Knights, is now chairman.

It is the latest American investment into the Premier League after a group led by Todd Boehly took over Chelsea in May.

Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Leeds, West Ham and Manchester City all also have US investment on some scale.
