And the other major talking point for the Blues?
That has to be the fact that Hudson-Odoi is starting. The winger is one of the most talented young players in the country. Yet he has grown disillusioned with his playing time at the club and has reportedly handed in a transfer request.

Of course all eyes will be on this man today as he makes his debut.
With Alvaro Morata off to Atletico Madrid Higuain will be the main man and Maurizio Sarri made it clear he wanted the Argentine.
Now the pressure is on him to score the goals to fire Chelsea to glory in the latter half of the season.
