Last gameweek of the Premier League is set to be underway
Surprising everyone, Chelsea are on the verge of securing European football. But they have a last hurdle to get out of their way, in the form of Bournemouth, on the final day of the 38-game season.
The Blues are on a four-game winning streak under Pochettino. A win against Bournemouth and a Tottenham loss would secure them fifth place and the Europa League, while a draw guarantees at least sixth in the Premier League. This is a great high considering they were in the 10th position for most of the season.
On the other hand, Bournemouth have enjoyed a superb campaign. Andoni Iraola will be eyeing a top-half finish, as the Cherries will be level on points with Brighton going into this clash.
Kick-off
Sunday: 19th May 2024, 4 PM BST (8:30 PM IST)
Location: Stamford Bridge
Form
Chelsea (in the PL): D-W-W-W-W
Bournemouth (in the PL): L-W-W-L-L
Players to watch
Cole Palmer (Chelsea)
In his debut season with the Blues, Cole Palmer has already matched Eden Hazard’s numbers from his best-ever season at the Bridge. His celebration is cold, and his 32 GA (22G, 10 A) stats are producing heat.
Justin Kluivert (Bournemouth)
At only 5ft 7in, Kluivert has a low centre of gravity which he uses to his benefit, easily beating players with the nimble footwork. He also has plenty of pace, making him a constant danger in the Premier League.
Match facts
- Chelsea have won their last 4 games by scoring 2 or more goals in each of the games
