For this season, fans do not need to expect more from their favorite club Chelsea. Since being controlled by Todd Boehly, The Blues seem to have lost their identity so that in the last few seasons they have become like a mediocre team and are no longer feared in the Premier League. Financially, Todd Boehly has spent quite a lot of money to build a new squad, as a result, Chelsea has no signs of rising again. The first defeat from Manchester City will certainly make the players' mentality slump, but Enzo Maresca still has time to immediately give Chelsea a victory. And I think Chelsea will still be struggling in the middle of the table and it will be very difficult for them to compete at the top of the standings.
the first match against the City squad, of course it's difficult for Enzo Maresca. Chelsea is still in a slump, it's not easy to rise even with so much money that has been spent.
let's see how Chelsea makes more changes in the next match. however, they must be able to compete at the top of the standings. maybe fans will also doubt that opportunity. but the team that can be more consistent throughout the season will compete. City may dominate again this season, but I hope there will be strong competitors in the EPL that will make it more interesting.
