I am not a Chelsea fan, but I can confidently tell you that Chelsea is well prepared for this season. They will compete for the English Premier League title because they have been preparing for this season. Right from last season Chelsea has never hesitated to actively participate in the transfer window. They have bought so many young and good players within two transfer windows.
Chelsea has indeed stocked good players that will be enough to actually compete for the Premier League title because the amount of money they spent in the transfer window back then in January and the money they are currently spending in the transfer market is enough for the team to claim a title this season, even if it is the FA Cup or Carling Cup, and if possible, to win the Premier League this season.
And we all see that their performance improved during the pre-season. So no one should be doubtful about the performance of Chelsea this season. Even if they may not be able to win the English Premier League, it is so certain that by next season they will qualify for the Champions League.
Chelsea's performance during pre-season matches was impressive and has proven how well they were prepared for this season, and their match against Liverpool last weekend shows that they can actually compete for the title along with Arsenal, Manchester City, and Manchester United.
But there is an assurance that Chelsea might finish in the top four because they focus only on the Premier League since they are missing out on the Champions League and Europa League.
