How Chelsea may perform under Pochettino next season

Former Chelsea star Petr Cech in a statement has tipped the club to be impressive in their first few games under their manager Mauricio Pochettino next season.

According to Cech, the Blues’ pre-season form will help them at the start of the 2023/24 Premier League season.

This comes as the Blues have been undefeated in their pre-season matches so far this summer.

The Blues secured wins over the likes of Fulham, Brighton and Wrexham FC and also won the Premier League Summer Series and the Florida Cup.

“Chelsea have had, so far, a very good pre-season. They invested in the team, they changed the manager, so they will generally have the highest expectations,” Cech told Sky Sports (via Football Daily).

“And they will want to do much better than [they did] in the last season and they’ll want to be back in the Champions League and fight for the top places.”

He added: “As I said, one thing is to have a successful pre-season, other thing is to start well and get points in the Premier League. But I think they can be positive going into the first [few] games.”
