Chelsea return to Premier League action, 23 days after they played their latest and what turned out to be Graham Potter's first game in charge against RB Salzburg in the UEFA Champions League.
Potter's first few weeks since taking over from Thomas Tuchel have been nicer to him and his coaching team than expected. Following the death of the late Queen Elizabeth II, games against Fulham and Liverpool were cancelled as a consequence.
This inadvertently coupled with the international break allowed the new manager more time on the training ground to get his players up to speed with his ideas and system.
