The FIFA Club World Cup winners have made astute signings ahead of the new season and look well-equipped to challenge for the trophy. They have bolstered Enzo Maresca’s squad this summer with several new signings, including Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens, and Jorrel Hato.

Maresca revealed the players have more energy than usual, but ex-Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has claimed the Blues will not win the league unless they sell goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.

"Man United started winning league titles after they signed Peter Schmeichel.‘I think of Everton as a kid and Neville Southall. Man City changed the keeper and started winning the league.

"We brought in Alisson and started winning the league. Chelsea started winning the league when they signed Petr Cech.

"That’s why Chelsea can’t win the league. No matter what Chelsea do or how much they spend, they can’t win the league because they haven’t got a goalkeeper to win the league."

Sanchez made 8 errors leading to goals, which was the most in the league last season, and was heavily criticised in several big games.

However, Maresca looks set to stick with the 27-year-old despite calls for the Blues to sign a more reliable shot-stopper.

Meanwhile, Chelsea new boy Estevao Willian scored his first goal for the club in a 2-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen on Friday night. The Blues face AC Milan in their final pre-season game before the start of the Premier League next weekend.
