Three games in, Chelsea are having fun again
Chelsea, having posted two wins and a League Cup triumph in just a week, appear to be feeling the joy of football again at their Stamford Bridge home. Despite some defensive moments, the team's new manager Xabi Alonso and his star player Cole Palmer, who scored a goal in the latest victory, seem to be enjoying themselves. Palmer, who had struggled for form last season, and Joao Pedro, who missed out on the World Cup, have both shown a change in demeanor.
The young goalkeeper Emi Martinez, who stepped in for Brighton's Bart Verbruggen, has made some crucial saves for his new side. However, there's still work to be done at the back, where Chelsea have conceded goals in their last 18 league games.
