Chelsea has been unbearable recently with them going through owners, managers, and players. Ever since Todd Boehly, he has splashed heavy amounts on top players like Mudryk, Enzo Fernandez, Romeo Lavia, and Moises Caicedo, but with little to no success. A new manager in the form of Pochettino was also hired but could not change Chelsea’s fortunes, as they finished below the top four.
While Chelsea played the most disjointed football last season, there have been signs of something great unfolding. Cole Palmer, for one, has played football beyond his years and has been Chelsea’s talisman, bagging more than 40+ G/A last season alone. Malo Gusto is also another revelation, with the Right Back being integral in all phases of Chelsea’s play.
While players like Cucurella, Enzo Fernandez, Nkunku, and Gallagher are yet to get into their rhythm. This season is a chance for them to gel under a brilliant man manager and tactical specialist in Enzo Maresca.
Their squad has also been strengthened with Renato Veiga and Tosin Adarabioyo adding more depth to a young defense. And to top it off, they signed Brazilian wonder kid, Estevao AKA The Brazilian Messi. It is scary to imagine what Chelsea will play in the coming season and woe to opposition teams in the Premier League. Without any further ado, here are five reasons why Chelsea will win the double.
5 Reasons Chelsea Wins the Premier League
5. Squad Depth
Apart from Man City, no team in the premier league nears Chelsea in squad depth. The Blues have packed all the hottest prospects in football from Estevao to Marc Guiu. They have a squad that can compete at the highest level, and if they have an injury-plagued season like the 2023/2024, they won’t be affected.
4. Tactical Flexibility
Chelsea is a team filled with players that can play in any style. Last season, we saw Pochettino turn these players into possession fiends, we have also seen these players use a counter-attacking, and play with a high press. The players can thrive in any system they are placed in.
3. Technically Secure Players
One of the reasons Chelsea players can thrive in a variety of tactical setups is their high technical level. Whoever handled Chelsea’s recruitment for the past two seasons has had his head in the right direction. While they haven’t had success in the short term, the future holds so much promise for the London-based club. A good example of great recruitment is the club’s midfield, I haven’t seen a midfield this balanced since Kroos-Casemiro-Modric Trio.
2. Enzo Maresca
Maresca is another disciple of Pep coming into the premier league but unlike Kompany, he is blessed with a team that can play the football he wants to play. Maresca is the perfect manager to steer The Blues to victory, and what makes his entry even better is Klopp’s exit from the Premier League. This makes it even more perfect for the League to finally sleep in London(preferably not North London).
1. Battle Hardened Players

The players that have returned from the Euros and Copa America are no longer inexperienced, Chelsea has serial winners in Cucurella and Enzo Fernandez and finalists in Conor Gallagher and Cole Palmer. Their squad who found it hard to keep leads and command games now has people who won’t shake or buckle in the face of pressure. And that’s what makes Football clubs win: Elite Mentality and an Unshakeable Spirit.
