Chelsea go into the new campaign under uncertainty with another new coach in Enzo Maresca.
Maresca was the choice of owner Todd Boehly to replace Mauricio Pottechino despite the Argentine's impressive spell at the end of last season.
The Italian led Leicester to promotion last season and is a former assistant of Pep Guardiola, and former Blues star Gus Poyet can understand why the current Chelsea hierarchy went for him as the club's latest boss.

"I think I understand now the idea behind the new Chelsea coach," he exclusively told DAZN, thanks to Free Bets.
"I think we were used to Abramovich going for the biggest name in football at that time, whatever it was, in any country. Now, they're looking more for a specific coach with certain characteristics to bring out the best of them, especially the young players.
"Like everyone at Chelsea, we're just waiting to see how the team is going to play, which system they're going to play, how exciting it's going to be and nothing else. It's difficult to predict, very, very difficult."
