Bournemouth v Chelsea: match preview

Bournemouth’s victory over Chelsea in December was the penultimate league match of José Mourinho’s second tenure at Stamford Bridge and, when Glenn Murray struck late on, it ensured the champions remained mired in the bottom reaches of the table. Now Chelsea are three points clear of Eddie Howe’s side as the campaign draws to a close, but it is clear which club has enjoyed the better season. James Riach
