Hoping that Mauricio Pochettino can lead Chelsea to finish in the Champions League zone next season, that will look better than seeing him finish in 12th position. But if they succeed in their strategy of loaning Mbappe from PSG there is a possibility that they will finish even better, raner up will be their place. Chelsea's pre-season trip this time has been very good, they are unbeaten and last drew against Dortmund.
However, this match had to be paid dearly because after a draw, their new player, Christopher Nkunku, was injured. This will be their closing match in pre-season, hopefully Nkunku won't be seriously injured.
If Chelsea is successful in acquiring Mbappe, it will be a significant increase to their chances of winning the Premier League or possibly moving up to the top of the premier league standings at the conclusion of the 2023/2024 season.
Chelsea players have shown mastery of each other's playing formation during their whole preseason tournament. Both their attacking force and defense were strong. None of the Chelsea players that took part in the preseason match performed poorly, even though it was a preseason that shouldn't be taken seriously. They all have victory in mind to deliver more than expected of them. With the few days remaining to the start of the premier league, I believe Chelsea would be at its peak
