Chelsea. Last Season’s Finish: 3rd. Expectations: Win the League. Predicted Finish: 1st
Right now, I deem Chelsea the best team and the best squad in the Premier League. The Blues now have Jose Mourinho back at the helm, which is a massive boost and he will have this team organised and ready from Day 1. They haven’t been too active in the transfer window, but then again, they have a very big squad of players. Andre Schurrle brought in from Leverkusen is a welcome addition on the left side and also gives them forward depth, and Marco van Ginkel is a very talented youngster who will get some game time.
Fernando Torres and Demba Ba are questionable attacking options, and neither appears to be in their best form at the club, Mourinho could look to bringing in another striker into the mix. Wayne Rooney could be the guy who tips them over the edge for sure this season. The midfield trio of Juan Mata , Oscar and Eden Hazard are so talented, the best midfield in the Premier League, they should excel with Mourinho there and give every defence problems.
Key Player: Romelu Lukaku could be the main man at Chelsea now. Impressing on loan at West Brom last season, he is their best option. A nightmare for centre backs league-wide, he has the power, the aerial ability and composure in front of goal to score 20 goals a season for the Blues. Juan Mata will also have another wonderful season, my tip for Player of the Season.
