Expectations have been lifted around Chelsea right now and what they can achieve this season under Enzo Maresca.
The Blues underwhelmed last season but rallied late and finished sixth, securing a return to European football by entering the Uefa Conference League qualifying play-off round.
That qualification was secured thanks to a decent end to the season, with Mauricio Pochettino finally looking like he had worked out how to get the best out of his very young squad.
But Pochettino left and was replaced by Enzo Maresca, who has had a decent start. The Blues are in the top four after six games, with four wins and 13 points.
Moreover, former Chelsea Winger Eden Hazard has drop his predictions on Chelsea chances of winning the premier League this season.
Hazard said he thinks Chelsea can actually win the Premier League this Season
The ex Chelsea starman believes that this is a key factor that means Chelsea have to be in the conversation for winning the Premier League this season.
He said to Footyvalid reporters: “How can you say Chelsea can’t win the title when they have Joao Felix, Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto and Romeo Lavia coming off the bench? You can’t tell me they can’t challenge for the title.”
A number of those who make up the very strong depth at the club are going to be involved tomorrow night when the Blues return to Conference League action for their first group stage game against Gent.
