2) A dependable attacking force
Chelsea's strength over the years has their attacking prowess. Their ability to score goals at any instant, thereby turning the tide of the game in their favour, is quite well known to many local and European clubs.
This time out, the Blues have a strong forward line that has the ability to tear down opponents on their day. In the centre-forward position, Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud ply their trade.
Even though Morata hasn't been performing very good as of late, two goals in his last two games speak of a revival. Giroud may not be a cultured goalscorer but his ability to hold up play is the reason why he was such a vital player for France in the World Cup.
Apart from Hazard, who functions as an inside forward, Chelsea have two really dangerous wingers in Willian and Pedro, who can devastate oppositions on their day with their crossing and finishing abilities. Callum Hudson Odoi and Victor Moses are very dependable players, who can function with ease when they are called upon.
