With new boss Enzo Maresca in charge, Chelsea will open their 2024-25 Premier League campaign with a blockbuster clash against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge, London on Sunday, August 18.
The London-based club is in a period of transition and they have made wholesale purchases ahead of the new season. Chelsea have, so far, signed on 10 players, including Pedro Neto, during the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, they have let go of defender Thiago Silva.
The majority of the goal-scoring responsibility, though, may once again fall on Cole Palmer, who was the second highest scorer in the League last season, only behind City's Erling Haaland.
The Blues finished will hope to improve on the sixth-place finish last season.
