It's been a season to forget for Chelsea fans, but the imminent appointment of Mauricio Pochettino should give them plenty of encouragement for the future.
The highly-rated Argentina is expected to be officially confirmed as the new Blues boss any day now, although he will not take charge until the summer.
Pochettino will have his fair share of issues to contend with ahead of the 2023/24 campaign: Chelsea have one of the biggest squads in the entire Premier League and departures are a given, but the former Tottenham boss will also have designs on bringing in one or two of his own faces.

Chilwell has endured torrid luck with injuries this campaign and ended up missing out on a spot in England's World Cup squad. And now the defender is set for another spell on the sidelines after sustaining a hamstring injury in last weekend's slender win over Bournemouth.
Lampard cast doubt on Chilwell featuring in Chelsea's final four games of the season. He explained in his pre-match press conference on Friday: "With a hamstring at this stage of the season, you'd clearly be worried [that he may miss] the remaining games."
