In the 38th round of the Premier League, Chelsea will host Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea
The Blues were trailing in the standings and took a while to settle into a rhythm. Luckily, Chelsea’s finest play came toward the end of the campaign, and they are presently in sixth position. They will be eligible to play in the Conference League the following season if they can hold onto this ranking.
The team led by Mauricio Pochettino is three points clear of their nearest competitors, but Newcastle, for instance, has a superior goal differential. Chelsea needs a draw against Bournemouth at the very least to guarantee they stay unaffected by other outcomes. Chelsea defeated Brighton on the road last weekend, winning 2-1. They had won the league four times in a row with this victory.
Bournemouth
The Cherries had a awful start to the season and were only able to leave the relegation zone in late December. After that, Bournemouth won six of their next seven league games. With 48 points, they are currently in 11th place, having surged to mid-table.
Bournemouth’s most recent game was a 1-2 loss at home against Brentford. They have now suffered two consecutive losses and three in the previous five league games. Bournemouth has won six of their last eight away games, but they have suffered three losses in their last four away games.
