After Premier League round one, Chelsea impressed me the most. I think they will cause problems for a lot of teams. The absence of European football gives them a real edge and they have enough quality to compete.

🗣️ Paul Scholes: “Man United just spent £90M on two midfield players, and another £60M - £70M on another player... Kobbie Mainoo is better than all three of them.”
