Chelsea's defeat hastened the departure of Jose Mourinho and it was to be his last Premier League game at Stamford Bridge. The club have been counting down the days until the end of the season ever since.

If Bournemouth complete the double, they will draw level in the table with last year's champions. Who saw that happening before a ball had been kicked in August?

The fact that it might happen speaks volumes about their relative efforts this term.
