Chelsea would have had aspirations of qualifying for the Champions League this season, but after finishing 12th last campaign, a position in the Europa League or Conference League is a step in the right direction.
They will qualify for either of those but we won't know that outcome until the FA Cup Final finishes.
Bournemouth have been safe from relegation for a while, and their recent form has been up and down.
Chelsea current form
In the middle of April, Chelsea were demolished 5-0 by Arsenal but since then they have gone on an excellent run and have won each of their last four games against Tottenham, West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Brighton.
In those four wins, they have scored 12 goals.
Bournemouth current form
In their last five games, Bournemouth have won two and lost three and that really represents a microcosm of their season as a whole.
They have lost their last two matches 3-0 against Arsenal and 2-1 against Brentford.
