Chelsea will be the clear favourites to win this London derby and the Champions League winners will now want to add a league title to their new purpose under Thomas Tuchel.
Chelsea come into this first game of the season in good spirits as they beat Villarreal in the UEFA Super Cup on penalties in Belfast after the teams had drawn the game 1-1. It’s another trophy for the Blues and that will just install a winning mentality at the club.
The big news for Chelsea is that they have signed Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan for just over £100m. Given that Lukaku has been superb in Italy and that Chelsea needed a quality goal scoring forward this seems like the perfect deal for the club.
Chelsea finished 4th last season, but Tuchel only managed the club for half of that as he came into the team only from February after Frank Lampard was sacked and since then Chelsea have looked fantastic.

切尔西将是这场伦敦德比的夺冠热门，在托马斯·图切尔的带领下，欧冠冠军现在想要为他们的新目标增加一个联赛冠军。
在贝尔法斯特举行的欧洲超级杯决赛中，切尔西在点球大战中击败比利亚雷亚尔，双方1-1战平，切尔西士气高昂，迎来了本赛季的首场比赛。这是蓝军的另一个奖杯，这将在俱乐部树立一种必胜的心态。
对于切尔西来说，最重要的消息是他们已经以1亿多英镑的价格从国际米兰签下了罗梅卢·卢卡库。考虑到卢卡库在意大利的表现非常出色，而切尔西需要一名高质量的前锋，这似乎是一笔完美的交易。
切尔西在上个赛季的成绩是第四，但是图切尔在兰帕德被解职后的二月才加入球队，他执教切尔西的时间只达到了赛季的一半。从那以后，切尔西看起来非常棒。
