Four games left - Europe the potential prize

Bournemouth fans had been slightly waiting on tenterhooks for the scheduling of their final home game to be finalised, before it was announced on Tuesday.

As soon as Manchester City booked their place in the FA Cup final, their match with the Cherries needed to be rearranged and, although it may feel slightly odd to have a final home game of the season as a midweek encounter, it will still leave four clear days between that match on Tuesday 19 May and the season-ending trip to Nottingham Forest.

Indeed, Bournemouth approached the end of the league season in the unusual position whereby four of their last five opponents were involved in three separate cup competitions, with three of those four games requiring a new date.

The events of the dying minutes of their last game, against Leeds, still rankle with supporters, after Evanilson's goal was ruled out when his shoulder was ruled to be offside, before Leeds' equaliser was given despite having an offside player standing in front of goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic.

It was a sentiment shared by several Cherries players, judging by their postings on social media after the game.

But every Premier League team will probably have a list of perceived VAR injustices and it will be important for players and fans to put that game behind them as they head into the final four matches, still unbeaten in a league-high 14 games.

Crystal Palace (home), Fulham (away), Manchester City (home) and Nottingham Forest (away). A potential 12 points up for grabs. Europe the potential prize.

Who can honestly say they would not have settled for this position heading into May, after seeing three-quarters of the defence sold last summer and their best attacker in January?
