Chelsea
Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world and have been hugely successful over the past two or so decades. The Blues have won the Premier League, the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League over the years, and clinched the UEFA Conference League last season and the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the summer of 2025.
The Blues finished in the Champions League places in the Premier League table last season and will fancy their chances of doing the same this time around. Chelsea, now under the management of Liam Rosenior, are currently fifth in the standings with 44 points from 26 matches, just a point behind fourth-placed Manchester United.
