Good morning and welcome along to Saturday’s Chelsea live blog from football.london .
The Blues’ Premier League season kicks off today as they host Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge.
Thomas Tuchel will go into the game feeling confident that his side can get the three points, especially after leading his team to victory in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday evening.
Chelsea have also had a big week off the pitch following the announcement of Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan in a club record £97.5million deal.
And their summer of spending isn’t expected to end there as Tuchel prepares to shape a squad capable of winning the Premier League.
The club are of course also willing to offload one or two names deemed surplus to requirements, so make sure to stay with us throughout the day as we bring you all the very latest surrounding Chelsea FC.
