The 2025-26 Premier League season is set to kick off on Friday, and fans and pundits are busy making predictions about where teams will finish at the end of the season.
While most pundits will agree that Liverpool will manage to defend their title, the jury is still out on where the other clubs will finish.
In the case of Chelsea, fans and pundits are backing the Blues to have a strong season.
While some believe that Enzo Maresca’s team have what it takes to challenge for the title, others believe that they are still a couple of signings away from competing for the ultimate glory.
Chelsea are coming off the back of a strong last season, where they qualified for the Champions League and clinched the UEFA Conference League and the Club World Cup.
Many are now expecting the team to kick on from there and challenge for the title. Meanwhile, Robbie Fowler has made a bold prediction about where the team will finish in the upcoming Premier League campaign.

Fowler told talkSPORT: “I think Chelsea were a good team last year, in all fairness. I think they’ve got great players. They’ve got a relatively young squad. They had that season last year with the culmination of winning the Club World Cup.”
“I think everyone will be buoyed and buzzing around the place because of that. I think that will give them the confidence and rhythm to go into the season and get wins.”
Where Chelsea finish next season will have a lot to do with how they start the season. On paper, the Blues have been handed a relatively straightforward run of fixtures, and they will need to capitalise on them if they are to indeed mount a title challenge.
