2. Hazard Returns

Chelsea fans will be delighted to see Eden Hazard finally get his name back on the scoresheet. After an amazing campaign last year, where he was one of the key players that help lead the Blues to a league title, this year has been completely different.

Hazard was one of the many first-team players who suffered from a terrible dip in form during the beginning of the season. He showed flashes of his old self during games here and there, but was never able to fully return to the Hazard Chelsea fans had come to know.

The Belgian was then hampered by a couple of injuries, most recently a hip problem. Hazard has been in multiple transfer rumors, and it is still unclear if he’ll be in a Chelsea shirt next season. If he does return to Stamford Bridge, hopefully these next couple of games and Euro 2016 will provide a springboard for the 2016/17 campaign.
