Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola admits they face a battle going to Chelsea on Sunday.

Chelsea need a win to finish the season in the Europa League places.

Iraola said: "They are a very young team and they have a lot of talent there. They are showing it lately. They are improving a lot. Probably with Arsenal and [Manchester] City are finishing the season strongly.

"They are winning games quite easily and they have very good players in very good form. Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson, they are scoring goals lately and they are always a threat.."

He also said: "It's difficult to say about injuries as we are two days away from the game, but I don't think a lot will change.

"I can probably try with Romain [Faivre], he was out with just the ankle and we will try to get him available.

"Meps [Chris Mepham] is also improving, I don't know if he returns but we're finishing the season in a better place injury-wise."
