Bournemouth manager, Andoni Iraola, has said Chelsea are “one of the best three or four teams” in England.
According to Iraola, the others are Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool.
The Spaniard was speaking ahead of their home game against Enzo Maresca’s men 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 admitted that the absence of the suspended Caicedo is a positive for Bournemouth.
Ahead of the fixture at the Vitality Stadium, Chelsea sits in the third place with 24 points while Iraola’s men ate 14th with 19 points.
