Cherries end their campaign at Stamford Bridge tomorrow, against a Chelsea side looking to clinch a spot in the Europa League.
It has been an inconsistent campaign for Mauricio Pochettino’s Blues, who are now in fine form, winning four league games on the spin.
And Iraola is under no illusions how tough the task will be, referring to his side’s recent 3-0 defeat to title-chasing Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.
“For me, they are playing really, really well,” said Iraola.
“They are on a very good run. I think it is going to be a very difficult game.
“They are finishing very, very strong.
“They have very good individual threats.
“They have obviously players like Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson finishing the season.
“I think they’ve recovered a couple of injured players that give them more options also.
“I think it is going to be really difficult, because the level they are playing right now, for me, is very, very high.”
