Thomas Tuchel will guide his Chelsea side out for the final time this season on Sunday when the Blues face Watford at Stamford Bridge. It will put an end to an up and down season for the club, with plenty left to ponder over what is still to come.
The Premier League campaign started well, with the west London outfit setting the pace early on, although that dropped off going into the new year. Their defence of the Champions League was denied by Real Madrid in the quarter-finals and it was deja vu at Wembley as Liverpool won both domestic cup finals over Chelsea on penalties.
That’s not to say the season was a failure, having won the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup, with Tuchel claiming he won’t let the season be judged upon two shootout losses. The next job for the German will be about rebuilding this summer, though they can sign off on a high note against the Hornets and guarantee themselves third in the league with victory.
