Chelsea gets it together
Although Chelsea is coming off a 10th-place finish and its lowest goal-scoring total in the last three seasons (58), they remain a threat to finish top-4, especially with Xabi Alonso entering his first season as manager. Alonso is known for his player development and attacking style of play.
Many also look to data analytics to show that Chelsea played significantly better than where they finished last season, having underperformed their expected goals.
Can United build off its momentum?
After finishing third last season following a 15th-place finish the season before, Manchester United is looking to continue its progression behind Bruno Fernandes’ record-breaking assist total (21) last season. They have solid forward depth in Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko, all scoring 10+ goals.
Also, in an effort to replace Casemiro, who is off to play with Messi at Inter Miami, they brought in Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos.
Unlike Chelsea, Manchester United returns to European play in the Champions League, which could take a toll on the squad as a whole.
We’ll get our first look at Manchester United on Saturday at 7:30 a.m. EST against Hull City, while Chelsea kicks off on Monday at 3 p.m. EST against Fulham.
