With Chelseas transfer ban, their defence could look very similar to last season.

Blues academy graduate Mason Mount and Ross Barkley could play slightly further ahead of Kante in a new-look midfield.New boy Christian Pulisic will have to fill the void left by Eden Hazard, who joined Real Madrid in an initial 88million deal, which could rise to 150million.Getty8
