Chelsea's predicted starting XI for the 2018-2019 season 

Wingers

Left Wing(LW): Eden Hazard

Chelsea v Manchester United - Premier League

The Belgian wizard has been dominating the Premier League ever since his arrival at Chelsea in 2012. Few could claim to be better than him in world football and that list just got narrowed down even more after his top-notch performances in the World Cup.

Perhaps Chelsea's biggest signing could be tying Eden to a long-term contract and fending off the interest of Real Madrid. Now whether or not the interest from Real Madrid too much to resist is anyone's guess really.

Eden Hazard has played a key role in whatever success Chelsea has achieved ever since he has joined them. His dribbling ability, turn of pace and link up play is second to none in the Premier League and questions are rightly asked whether he can reach another level so as to be counted in the elite bracket of players (Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo).

The new season could very well see a more ruthless and destructive Eden Hazard as the new manager Sarri's system is tailor-made to bring the best out of a player like him.

Right Wing (RW): Leon Bailey

FBL-GER-BUNDESLIGA-LEVERKUSEN-FRANKFURT

Chelsea have reportedly been interested in him for quite some time. His rumoured price tag of more than 60 million Euros could complicate matters. However, if the past season is any indication, every penny could very well be worth it. Leon Bailey could be the long-awaited left-footed winger who can compliment Hazard on the opposite flank.

The Jamaican is blessed with blistering pace combined with dribbling ability at high speeds. He has a good long ranger in his locker and is a good finisher. He is far from the finished product but is a coveted talent across Europe. If a move to Chelsea materialises, expect him to line up as the right-sided inverted winger at Chelsea.
