Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has stated that Chelsea are among “one of the best three or four teams” in England. He listed Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool as the others in that top bracket. The Spaniard made the remarks while speaking ahead of their home clash with Enzo Maresca’s side this weekend.
Iraola said: “They have a top coach, in and out of possession, it is going to be difficult for us against very good players that are well coached. If we are going to beat them we have to be at our best.”
He also noted that the absence of the suspended Caicedo is an advantage for Bournemouth.
As the fixture approaches at the Vitality Stadium, Chelsea are in fourth place with 24 points while Iraola’s team are 14th with 19 points.
