Chelsea is back on their feet but it doesnt mean that it won't be challenging for them, even with their victory against new castle they are currently at that third position on the league table. That epl is going to be very tough this season. They have Tottenham and arsenal to compete with. About palmer, he might not be a hundred percent right now, it is normal even for the best players to go through such phases
They won west ham. The thing is that Chelsea and most Premier League teams are unpredictable this period and just like the way they struggled in winning their first game against crystal palace they could still be in a position like that probably in their next game soi think i wont say anything about Chelsea or any other team till they actually get to like match day 5 which can be said to be enough playing time and intro for the new players that signed and also for the new club that gained promotion to the top tier of English football.
They played exceptionally well against West Ham. They beat them with a terrific tempo. If they continue at this pace for the Premier League, they'll be in the title race. I expect a good year for Chelsea.
