Chelsea's line-up for the West Ham game on September 4 could be very different from the one that will be fielded against Everton on the opening weekend of the Premier League season.
So far this summer, Todd Boehly has provided manager Thomas Tuchel with five new first-team signings with Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly the standout ones that will be almost guaranteed to make the squad for the side that will travel to Merseyside after the pre-Everton press conference in the afternoon. Carney Chukwuemeka is seen as a future prospect that could potentially make an impact now whilst young goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina is one for the future as demonstrated by the Blues' action to loan him straight back to Chicago Fire for the rest of the MLS season.
Marc Cucurella's £63million transfer has bolster Chelsea's full-back, wing-back and centre-back departments whilst moves for Barcelona duo Frenkie de Jong and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are also on the cards with the Catalan giants keen to do more business with the Blue following the expected Marcos Alonso coup. On the former Arsenal talisman, Fabrizio Romano was the first to report the news that Chelsea had been in contact with the player's camp ahead of sending a potential bid to the La Liga club who are in desperate need of raising funds to register new sign gins but most importantly to comply with the strict La Liga regulations.
