Where Opta predict Chelsea are going to finish in the Premier League this season
Chelsea have made a strong start to life under their new manager Enzo Maresca in the Premier League this season.
The Blues are perfect from their three away games so far, and will now be looking to transfer that into their first home win of the season at Stamford Bridge.
They will get that chance on Saturday when they take on Brighton, with Enzo Maresca having a decision to make when it comes to starting Christopher Nkunku or not.
Chelsea have shown a great strength in depth in multiple positions so far this season, and this will no doubt be crucial when the fixtures begin to pile up in all competitions.
A lot of talk has begun over where the Blues will finish in the Premier League this season. Some pundits have even spoken about whether a title race is too far out of the question.
Chelsea predicted to finish 4th
Stats-based site Opta have released their predicted Premier League table, and they have Chelsea finishing 4th with 66 points via Sky Sports.
The figure would be see them only add three points to the amount they managed under Mauricio Pochettino last season.
Many supporters have been left with a far more positive feeling right now than when they were under the Argentine.
Moises Caicedo a sign of better football under Enzo Maresca
A number of Chelsea players are playing far better football under Maresca than they were Pochettino, with Moises Caicedo one of the players who has improved greatly in recent weeks.
He has been named the best holding midfielder under the age of 23, and the new system brought in by the manager has given him plenty of support in the middle of the park.
Marc Cucurella has frequently been inverting into midfield, something that the boss doesn’t seem to believe Ben Chilwell will be able to feature in, leading to his expected exit from the club when the transfer window opens again.
