N'Golo Kante will be a key figure for Chelsea in 2016/17
As we preview the new Premier League season, we pick out five questions for Chelsea.
What have they done in the transfer market?
Chelsea have added two new players since Antonio Conte's appointment, with Belgian striker Michy Batshuayi arriving from Marseille for £33.2m and midfielder N'Golo Kante joining from Premier League champions Leicester for £32m.
A host of players have left Stamford Bridge on loan, the most recent being Baba Rahman, and there are expected to be more ins and outs before the deadline. The Blues have been linked with a big-money move for Everton's Romelu Lukaku, which would cast doubt on Diego Costa's future at Stamford Bridge.
What does the manager say?
"The transfer market is not the most important thing. The important thing is to build a team - a team that plays in good and bad situations and concentrates and works together."
What's the pundit verdict?
If Eden Hazard turns up this season he's one of the best players in world football and they only play once a week, which is a massive advantage.
Paul Merson
"I've gone for Chelsea to win the Premier League. I like the manager Antonio Conte - although I agree with him that this is the hardest Premier League season ever. If Eden Hazard turns up this season he's one of the best players in world football and they only play once a week, which is a massive advantage." - Paul Merson
What's your prediction?
Chelsea will be able to concentrate fully on the Premier League having failed to qualify for Europe last season, and they are 5/1 third favourites for the title with Sky Bet. The Blues are 4/7 on to return to the top four, and Diego Costa and Michy Batshuayi are both 14/1 to be the Premier League's top goalscorer.
