But with Chelsea, new Manager and everything, they have Aston Villa, a great set of players with a great Manager, if this future was 7 or nine mouths ago with then i would say Chelsea for the win.
I don't really think Chelsea will be back to their old winning ways until a few games, or maybe you never know, new tactics obvs and they may suit it and adapt to it quite quickly.
