This season, we certainly can't underestimate Chelsea. Their performance last season will undoubtedly create a different atmosphere, especially in terms of optimism. Furthermore, with the two trophies they secured, the Conference League and the CWC, this will certainly give Chelsea hope this season.

While the CWC may not be a reliable benchmark, their mentality has certainly improved after their victory, which could be a factor in considering Chelsea's inclusion in the competition this season.
Manchester City also has the potential to recover their lost form, as they must do their best to minimize the risk of a setback like last season.
However, this season, I'm hoping for surprises from several clubs, especially those who have consistently been a surprise or a stumbling block. The EPL is often filled with such moments that leave us amazed at the end.
