Looking at how they played against a team like Manchester united (still not a bad team obviously but not as high on anybodies list as Liverpool or city) I doubt Chelsea will have a good season, I am guessing the turmoil in the team last season has moved to this season as well and they have been not doing so well this summer neither, I think they will finish top 10 anyway because we are talking about Chelsea and even though they may not be as good as the teams at the top they would always be better than the teams at the bottom and beat them easily which would give them enough points to be at worst 7th in my prediction but I do not see any top 3 from them let alone a championship this season, its more Liverpool and city era right now and until that is over (god knows when) no other team would really rival them I think.
