Chelsea enter this season after finishing 4th last year. They come into this match after a resounding 4-1 victory against Milan at home. Over their last ten home games across all competitions, Chelsea has won 8, drawn 1, and lost just 1. Their attack has been consistent, scoring at least once in each of their last 10 matches. Additionally, they frequently take the lead, having scored the first goal in 13 of their last 15 fixtures, managing to maintain a half-time advantage in 10 of those.

The Chelsea squad boasts a solid offensive strategy, usually employing a 4-3-3 formation that facilitates quick transitions, primarily attacking down the flanks. Key players include Pedro Neto, João Pedro, and Jamie Gittens. They are particularly effective when utilizing the pace offered by Reece James on the right flank. Unfortunately, they will be without the injured Benoît Badiashile and Levi Colwill for this match.

Their attack has also been quite effective, scoring in 8 of their last 10 encounters. Of note, they have conceded the first goal in 5 out of 15 games, with only one successful comeback.
