Premier League 2018/19: Chelsea - Season preview

Does more silverware await Chelsea this season?

Final league prediction

Last season Chelsea sometimes focused on the cups over the league and it worked out for them winning the FA Cup and they would've had a decent run in the Champions League if it weren't for Leo Messi and Barcelona. However, I also feel that the majority of sides around Chelsea (excluding Tottenham) have improved their squad more than the Blues. Which I think will be a telling factor come the end of the season.

Prediction: 5th

EFL Cup

It's a real shame that most sides don't compete for the EFL Cup but Chelsea have fantastic depth and could possible field a weakened team all the way through. However, Chelsea will likely judge their position in the league before making any decision on the cups. I think the EFL cup won't be high on their priorities this season.

Prediction: Round of 16

FA Cup

I believe that Europa league and the Premier League will be Chelsea's priorities this season meaning that if they're still heavily involved in both competitions, the FA cup will be nothing but an afterthought. Their second-string will beat the majority of teams in the competition but I can envision them getting a tough draw and prioritising other competitions.

Prediction: Quarter finals

Europa League

This is where I feel Sarri will put his best side out and in my opinion, have the best chance of gaining entry to the Champions League. Atletico Madrid were winners last time round and they were eliminated into the competition thanks to Chelsea. I can see Chelsea claiming the trophy once again.

Prediction: Finalists/Winners
