With, at time of writing, £200m spent on new players, and over 20 players departing, it has been another summer of upheaval at Chelsea, something which has become common under Todd Boehly's reign.
With the club making many unwanted headlines off the field and coming in for criticism by how they are run, an opening day 2-0 defeat at home to Manchester City showed just how far away they are from top despite the hundreds of millions that have been spent.
New manager Enzo Maresca silenced some of the critics last Sunday though, when Chelsea hit Wolves for six at Molineux, with the performances of Noni Madueke and Cole Palmer earning them places in the upcoming England squad.
