Chelsea

Nothing less than a successful defence of the Premier League trophy will do for the Stamford Bridge faithful. The Blues, however, have not looked like potential champions during pre-season, losing three straight friendlies before a Community Shield defeat to rivals Manchester United. Gone are Michael Ballack and Joe Cole, with Yossi Benayoun and Ramires the major arrivals. Lethal frontman Didier Drogba will again be a key figure for Carlo Ancelotti’s side while England trio John Terry, Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard will be looking to put a disappointing World Cup campaign behind them.
