Chelsea have dropped four hints in total about players and things to expect for the Bues' opening Premier League fixture of the season at Goodison Park vs Everton.
Arsenal, unlike last season, won the first match of 2022/23 with their controlling 2-0 victory on away soil against Patrick Vieira's Crystal Palace. With Liverpool, Man City, Spurs and Man United facing favourable fixtures on the opening weekend, the pressure is already on for Chelsea to keep pace at the top right from the off.
They face an Everton side that many are tipping for relegation struggles this season as the Toffees still haven't signed an out-and-out replacement for Richarlison. But as manager Thomas Tuchel knows, a trip to Merseyside is never easy at any point of the season as evidenced by the 1-0 success Frank Lampard's men picked up at the back end of last season.
