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.
If I consider Chelsea's performance last season then maybe I will also choose to bet on Liverpool in the inaugural EPL match Liverpool vs Chelsea. But recently Chelsea have been impressive in pre-season games which makes me wish Chelsea a little bit better. But since it's only a pre-season game then I'll ignore it a bit and maybe come back to still choose to win against Liverpool.
But I feel that Mauricio Pochettino will really make a big difference to Chelsea. Because financially even the Chelsea club is getting better after selling several players at high prices to Arab clubs. But there is one thing that is a little difficult for Chelsea at the moment, namely the process of exchanging Lukaku for Valhovic from Juventus. Namely Chelsea have to pay a lot for the process of exchanging players between these clubs.
But if Chelsea succeed in bringing in Valhovic then Chelsea's attack line will really be very sharp. And for this, Chelsea must be willing to pay more and let Lukaku go to Juventus.
