Recently Chealsea sold Edouard Mendy and now they have brought Robert Sanchez as replacement. Normally everything is okay, but since 2018 Kepa Arrizabalaga is at Chelsea and at that time they paid 80 million euros transfer fee to Athletic Bilbao. The value of him since then has fallen to 18 million euros. So the competition of the two goes not only in the same team but also in the nationalteam, they are both Spanish.
When Chelsea brought in Kepa Arrizabalaga, he was one of the most promising goalkeepers in the world. His performance was outstanding at the beginning until he began to make some costly mistakes. This led to the signing of Edouard Mendy. But the Spanish goalkeeper has regained his form which led to his reclaiming of the first-team shirt forcing Mendy to move out of the club. For now, Kepa is the first-choice keeper until his performance proves otherwise.
The opening of the EPL season begins with a big game "Chelsea vs Liverpool". Pochetino's new task, as a new coach seems he has the spirit to show if he is able to fix Chelsea. Although I don't see a big enough transfer made by Chelsea. But it seems Pocethino is focusing on fixing the mentality of the players. They had a really fantastic transfer last season, I think Pochetino wants to start again by selling some players he doesn't need. The first game is difficult to predict, but I think I would pick Liverpool to win.
Coach Mauricio Pochettino is restructuring the Chelsea team for better performance. He entered that the club offloaded many players that will not be part of his game plan for this season. Although there was no high-spending signing but they have gotten some outstanding players like Nicolas Jackson, Alex Matos, Diego Moreira, and Christopher Nkunku are worthy additions to the squad. The club is also preparing for next season with the signing of young players such as Kendry Paez and Dujuan Richards that will join when they get to eighteen years next year. They have also had a good preseason and the game against Liverpool will be a good test for the team. The game will be difficult to predict because we have not really seen the performance of both teams in the EPL this season, but I will go with Chelsea. The game will be Liverpool 1 --- 2 Chelsea.
