Bournemouth defender Simon Francis: No reason to fear Chelsea

Bournemouth defender Simon Francis insists they can upset Chelsea.

Eddie Howe's side have beaten Liverpool and Leicester but lost to Southampton and Burnley so far this month.

Francis said: "Apart from the Southampton game I can't remember too many games where we haven't shown much fight.

"We've been excellent at home for the majority of games, the struggle has been our away form and that's something we need to address with Chelsea and Swansea coming up.

"We've got a little break now until the next game and the inconsistency is something that we need to overcome.

"We just can't find that consistency at the moment, back-to-back wins are massive in this division and we don't want to be labelled as an inconsistent side."
