Overview
- Chelsea enter the 2025-26 campaign on the back of Champions League qualification and wins in the UEFA Conference League and Club World Cup.
- A summer spending spree brought in nine signings at a cost of roughly £260 million, significantly bolstering Chelsea’s attacking options.
- Pundits qualify their optimism—Adrian Durham believes re-signing Marc Guehi could deliver a title, while Robbie Fowler predicts the club will finish as runners-up.
- Levi Colwill’s ACL injury has forced Chelsea to prioritise centre-back reinforcements ahead of the league opener.
- Kepa Arrizabalaga’s departure has left Robert Sánchez as first choice and Filip Jorgensen as cover, prompting questions over the goalkeeping ranks.
