Pride of London attempt to devise the best and most likely starting XI Graham Potter could use at Chelsea during the 2022/23 season.
Any head coach or manager who takes control of a Blues team is under pressure. They must win many, if not all, games, the fan base is expectant and it appears that the new owners are as decisive, impatient or precise as past CFC proprietors.
While a home draw to lesser opposition in the Champions League was disappointing, reading too much into the underwhelming RB Salzburg result is futile: Potter needs time.
