Chelsea vs Bournemouth: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds today

A wild ride of a season could have a very satisfying conclusion for Chelsea today as they host Bournemouth looking to guarantee qualification for Europe.

The Blues are on a run of four straight wins, with Mauricio Pochettino and his players finally hitting form after a largely frustrating campaign, and that late burst has seen them move up the table in the hunt for European qualification.

A Spurs defeat at Sheffield United is needed if Chelsea are to finish fifth and reach the Europa League, but sixth in the Premier League will be secured if the Blues can pick up at least a point at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
