Chelsea achieved a rare feat in their loss to Manchester City: having more possession than a Pep Guardiola team. It is pointless but how did it happen?

Chelsea set up in their usual 4-3-3 against Manchester City. But without Mason Mount, it remained just the way it sounds: three separate lines of players.

One is forced to wonder how many times Chelsea will make the same needlessly stupid mistakes in bringing the ball out from the back.

Frank Lampard’s team were at the wrong end of the score line as Chelsea fell to their own mistakes and inefficiencies against Manchester City.

Chelsea's loss to Manchester City was a bit of a reality check after a good few weeks. The Blues still need transfers to reach the next level.

N'Golo Kante not only scored Chelsea's goal against Manchester City, he might have been the most potent offensive player. Now you see the problem.
George Perry|
Chelsea "held" Manchester City to their lowest possession under Pep Guardiola. If only the defence could hold City to fewer goals than the Blues scored.

Manchester City have a point to prove right as Chelsea are scheduled to face them at the Etihad. Realism edges optimism among our writers.

Chelsea took different approaches against Manchester City last season, with very different results. Today they should stick to what they are doing best.

The line and the goals scored over-under reflect the one point that separates Chelsea from Manchester City in the table, not the +12 goal differential.

By hiring Jose Mourinho, Tottenham have decided the "Chelsea model" may be the future. Whilst there may be a short-term uplift, anything more is uncertain.

Chelsea has a huge task as they go away to Manchester City but Pep Guardiola's men are wounded and distracted by unattained silverware.

Club football returns this weekend as Chelsea takes on Manchester City, a fittingly massive game to open this stretch of the season.

Jose Mourinho is the Tottenham manager and that may never be normal to write. But Chelsea has no reason to fear him and his new team.

Jose Mourinho won Chelsea three Premier League titles and four domestic cups. He owes nothing to no one as he starts his new job at Tottenham Hotspur.
Olaoluwa Nwobodo|
Jose Mourinho is now the Tottenham Hotspur manager and that is a real sentence in the English language. But he also is not Chelsea's to own.

Whether in the Champions League or Premier League, Tammy Abraham's shooting habits place him in the right company with his peers and Chelsea predecessors.

Kepa Arrizabalaga is Chelsea's undisputed starting goalkeeper. That may provide too much comfort, and competition could ensure he fulfills his potential.
Varun Dani|
The transfer window opens in about six weeks and Chelsea may be a part of it. Ross Barkley has that much time to save his Chelsea career.

John Terry was the subject of a story that did the rounds Monday. The subject, but not a source, about Chelsea's supposed pursuit of Sergio Aguero.
